The Elder Scrolls 6 platforms: is it exclusive to Xbox?

The Elder Scrolls 6 Trailer
The only material we have The ancient scrolls 6 It's a very short clip of the game's logo. Other than that, you might have to wait a bit to see more. Here is the announcement trailer:
Elder Scrolls 6 setting and story
We're willing to bet that, like all other games in the series, The ancient scrolls 6 will take place on the continent of Tamriel. Previous games have taken us to High Rock, Hammerfell, Morrowind, Cyrodil and Skyrim. Valenwood, Elsweyr and Black Marsh are the most important places left to explore. However, while these areas are prime locations for exploration, that doesn't mean Bethesda won't return to areas from previous games.
There were rumors that The ancient scrolls 6 It could be set in Valenwood, the home of the Bosmer. It's an area of Tamriel that Bethesda hasn't explored much, and that's based on an internal Bethesda memo from 2014. In this memo, Bethesda employees were warned not to use the terms Fallout: Nuka World, Elder Scrolls VI. o Green Heart Project.
It's hard to tell from the brief E3 clip we have of the game. However, since it was demonstrated, general opinion has leaned towards the idea that The ancient scrolls 6 will take place in Hammerfell or High Rock.
To lend credence to the Hammerfell rumor there is an official Elder Scrolls post. Twitter account at the end of 2020. It says “transcribe the past and map the future” and shows an image with an unmapped Hammerfell region. However, there is a possibility that this development is not related to Ancient scrolls 6 absolutely.
Obviously those of us who know the world of Tamriel thanks to Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim and yes, even Elder Scrolls online, the entire world is a true expanse of different lands and settings where the game could take place. One thing we do know for sure; Wherever you end up, we can expect to complete a host of side quests.
