The official news has finally arrived: after the official approvals arrived last week, Microsoft today announced the official finalization of the acquisition of Bethesda Softworks,welcoming the large family of studios that includes Bethesda Game Studios, id Software, ZeniMax Online Studios, Arkane, MachineGames, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog and Roundhouse Studios.

In the official welcome post to Bethesda, Phil Spencer reiterates how now Xbox, PC, and Game Pass consoleswill be even more the best places to play , emphasizing how Bethesda will continue to play the games she has always done, without interference from Microsoft.

Those waiting for statements about the exclusivity of the games, however, remain dry-mouthed: Spencer explains that " some new future titles will beexclusive Xbox and PC", but without going into details: exclusivity will probably be clarified as we talk in more detail about the various games, probably starting from E3.

But we already have some good news: in the next few days, new Bethesda titles will arrive in the Game Pass- which ones will it be? Surely they will be taken from the following list, which lists the Bethesda titles not yet present in the service:

• The Evil Within
• Evil Within 2
• DOOM 2016
• DOOM 3 BFG Edition
• Prey
• Fallout 3
• Fallout 4
• Wolfenstein The New Order
• Wolfenstein The New Colossus

• Dishonored Definitive Edition
• Dishonored: Death of the Outsider (never joined)
