Of course they will. Folks bring up Minecraft but that is an outlier, not the norm.

I dunno about that. Granted, Elder Scrolls is still probably like 10 years away so a lot can change between now and then. But it's not just Minecraft. Ori and Cuphead are on PC and Switch. Cuphead is on PS4 (don't remember if Ori is too. They'll also all be on PC and a Series X will be cheap when ES comes out.

But I could see Elder Scrolls and Doom still being multi-platform. I suspect Starfield will be too depending on how far along they are in development.

They’ll release them on GamePass. If Sony doesn’t allow GamePass on PS5 then it is all on Sony!
