They want decent servers to test fair enough, plus more likely to get an online player on xbox.

I'll definitely try it out on "DA X" but I don't think I'll get this game because I'm not really into multiplayer titles.

Let's put it on the platform where less will play it

Xbox is my favorite platform but I've said this before and I'll say it again. Timed exclusivity,exclusives are anti gamer!

Just fanning the console war flames

Not surprised bethesda has been an ms supporter for a while now.

Meh, this doesn't really bother me since it will probably only be a couple days, a week at most that the Xbox gets it early. I normally do not like these sort of deals but Bethesda has always been a supporter of the Xbox consoles, possibly due to Microsoft's support of Morrowind which could have helped prevent BGS' extinction. As long as they don't pull any "the best version is on ______ console" nonsense, I can wait a few extra days to play the beta. It's only a beta after all and in the end is pretty meaningless.

I hate that requirement is based on purchase I'm one trophy short of platinum on fallout 4 should show that I care about the franchise.

Ironically the trophy I'm missing is for 100 percent settlement happiness which appears to be the core of 76

Not surprised bethesda has been an ms supporter for a while now.

SWEETNESS! Cant wait!

Go Microsoft!

The reason are simple!, its the smallest install base, would be madness to put all the ps4 players on first, would probably not manage it!

same engine as fallout 4 ?

2018 Gamers are weird they are overly excited to pay for demos. I remember when I used to get them in the mail for free lol

Best to release crap games where the suckers will eat up anything.

No surprise, morrowind and oblivion were only on xbox for years outside of PC.... mods too. I think bethesda still has some connections at microsoft. Bad practice anyway. Jeez the spam is wicked intrusive n4g! Time for another break lol

This crap is hilarious. Timed exclusives for beta testing lol. I remember when there weren't timed exclusives for anything. I remember when there wasn't even DLC. The gaming industry has become full of leaches.

wow love those morons or idiots whichever they need to be called who are slagging Microsoft off for having some timed exclusivity of a beta, like Sony do not do that like they did with monster Hunter and I didn't complain about it at all..

I do though wish that exclusivity period would end on consoles it prob won't ever happen but if it did I would be happy for all Microsoft games to played on a Sony machine and visa versa..

Yeah, oh yeaaaaahhhh

So you want to beta test your game in a much, much smaller user base? Losing confidence in this game.

at least its not an exclusive beta we saw how they turn out with monster hunter world, hopefully its only a day or two i wish this paying for exclusive bullshit would end imagine if Microsoft put all this money into their own games.

Own more than one console win..

The game looks trash anyway. I'll probably be busy playing Red dead and get this when it gets a massive discount like 3 months later

Damn, amazing stuff. This will really make the diference….

lol why???

"Console Launch Exclusive" Beta, keep up the jerk work Microsoft.

Sony has been doing it a lot lately so why can't Microsoft right! I think it's dumb either way but I'll take it.

We all get to enjoy this on our rechristen og xbox one to X after E3, phil said "the best looking games are played on xboxone" he did not mention og or x so i presume he means every Xbox one.

Yes, let's release a beta to the least amount of playerbase. Great decision lol.
