John Lynch told me the substation keeps eating his wide receivers so I asked how many wide receivers he has and he said he just signs a free agent afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding wide receivers to the substation and then Kyle Shanahan started crying
A NOTE FROM BETHESDA GAME STUDIOS
We love making these worlds as much as you love playing in them. Today, we want to share what's next for Bethesda Game Studios and what you can expect from us in the years ahead.
For forty years, we've built games that have entertained almost half a billion players. More than just games, these are worlds. Worlds for you to explore, shape, and make your own. Worlds we return to together.
That's what's driving us forward. We're investing more deeply in the worlds players love, giving creators a bigger role in shaping their experiences, and bringing our teams closer together so we can get our games into your hands sooner, support them longer, and continue building them alongside you for decades to come.
STARFIELD CONTINUES
With over 17 million players logging almost a billion hours to date, Starfield remains an important part of our future. As we enter Year 3, we'll continue expanding the Settled Systems with new stories, targeted gameplay improvements, and additional updates, while preparing for the launch of new Starborn content next year. More than 40% of players already customize their experience through Creations, and we'll continue investing in creators and giving players new ways to make Starfield their own.
CREATED BY PLAYERS
We've believed from the beginning that our worlds belong not only to the people who make them, but also to the people who play them. That's why we've long provided players with the tools to create their own experiences, dating back to the Morrowind Construction Set. This year marked another major milestone for Creations with its expansion to Fallout 4, joining Skyrim and Starfield. We're proud to say Creators have already earned more than $10 million in royalties from their work.
THE FUTURE OF FALLOUT
Fallout is one of our biggest priorities today. Fallout 5 remains our long-range destination, and we have multiple Fallout projects in active development right now.
Fallout 76 continues to be home to millions of players exploring Appalachia together. With nearly 70 free updates released to date, the journey is far from over. In fact, we have a major Fallout 76 expansion planned for next year: Raven Rock, a prequel story to Fallout 3.
Fallout 4, the most award-winning game in the franchise, just celebrated its 10-year anniversary and recently passed over 35 million copies sold, continuing to attract a new audience every year.
We also know many players want to revisit previous Fallout experiences. While we're not announcing any dates today, we have been working on remasters for both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.
Fallout Shelter continues to be the most popular way to experience Fallout on the go, with more than 250 million players. There’s more ahead for Fallout Shelter, including new Seasons. An unscripted Fallout Shelter television project is also in the works with our partners at Amazon Studios and Kilter Films.
We'd like to congratulate Kilter Films and Amazon Studios on the 10 Emmy nominations for Fallout Season 2. Production on Season 3 is already underway.
And while we won't host a traditional Fallout Day broadcast this year, we're already planning something special for Fallout's 30th anniversary in 2027, when Fallout Day will be celebrated live in Washington, D.C.
STUDIO COLLABORATION
The wasteland continues to expand as we team up once again with our longtime friends at Obsidian Entertainment. We're happy to confirm they're working with us on a new Fallout project. We'll have more to share in the future.
We're also bringing our teams closer together across Bethesda. ZeniMax Online Studios will partner closely with Bethesda Game Studios on The Elder Scrolls franchise, while continuing to deliver incredible new experiences for The Elder Scrolls Online. Season One: Return of the Thieves Guild recently launched, and the team has more planned for the future. By aligning more directly across the franchise, we can create even better experiences for players.
Bringing our teams closer together is helping us build a stronger foundation for everything we create next.
THE ELDER SCROLLS AND BEYOND
That foundation extends beyond our teams to the technology, tools, and systems that will power the next generation of Bethesda RPGs.
Our teams are now developing The Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5 on Creation Engine 3, a shared technology platform we've been building since Starfield's launch. It allows our teams to support multiple projects simultaneously with new tools, rendering, and systems that define our games.
Fallout 5 is currently in preproduction. The Elder Scrolls VI is our primary development focus today, with the majority of our team currently working on the next chapter of the franchise. With over 65 million copies sold, players are still exploring Skyrim 15 years later, but we know it’s been a very long wait for the sequel.
The next chapter is on the way. We’re where we planned to be, loving how it looks, and playing it every day.
THE ROAD AHEAD
Across Bethesda Game Studios, we're building for the future of Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, and Starfield. We're investing in our technology, bringing teams closer together, supporting our live games, expanding into new forms of entertainment, and developing the next generation of Bethesda RPGs.
We couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead and wanted to share as much as we could today. We can’t thank you enough for all you’ve given to us and these worlds. And we can’t wait to continue them together.

Hey everyone, here's the vod from last night if you missed my announcement. I've decided for many reasons, the final being that I know any% will continue improving without my physical grind ongoing, that I'm retiring from competitive speedruns of Battle for Bikini Bottom.
For ten long years I've pushed the run down by 26 consecutive minutes with the help of countless others on the R&D side of the community. But I feel now that in order to fulfill my destined role as the event/project organizer of the community, unifier and hype man of everything Sponge, and to finish on my own terms at a crucial time before any further physical injury, this is for the best.
I now have plenty of time and mental clarity to assure you all the definitive August celebration we deserve. Once the festivities conclude, I will immediately begin creating the ultimate documentary for everything BfBB from the creation of SpongeBob SquarePants, to my retirement as a competitor. The follow-up to the original documentaries you've all been waiting for.
Alongside this, I will put together a team of our best to create a community fix for BfBB Rehydrated, which I believe to be the necessary step forward in reviving and cementing our place as the greatest speedrun community of all time. If all goes well, I will apply all I've learned to reviving in-person events for the grassroots speedrunning community. By the people, for the people. With boots on the ground for an entire decade and my ear to the hardest working runners of all time, I assure you I and I alone am the man to lead the charge for a second speedrun golden age. But I cannot do it with the current bandwidth I am allotted - this major life change is necessary to fulfill these promises.
We are only getting older, and the window to take action is closing. I'm looking forward to hitting the ground running, continuing to dedicate my life to the community I love. Now better than ever, knowing for the first time ever, that my beloved game will carry on in my wake. It's bfbb forever bros.
Tonight around 7-8ish we're gonna play the Dutchman and some other Stuff based on what you guys want! This 1.5-month period will be the pregame before the culmination of our hard work - the 10-year celebration. I'm going to see you all there regularly until then - TIME TO HYPE IT UP!!!!
Thank you for letting me live out the dreams of my twenties. Here's to beyond. Faster together, movie forever. 💜
