Today we announced is joining the Microsoft family and I wanted to share some thoughts on what it means for all of us.

Seven years ago we released Skyrim.
No, before that version.
No, it was before that platform too.
No, the first time it came out. Yeah, those. Seven years ago today. Happy Birthday, Skyrim.
I figure some of you might need a note from your doctor for your upcoming "sick day(s)" this week. So here you go.
I’ve mastered the art of disguise to avoid any additional interviews today. #Fallout76
Today is the start of my 20th year at Bethesda. Been quite a ride. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Thanks to everyone at for keeping me around and making it fun.
My boys have been getting bugged by their friends all day wanting info on what’s coming.
Dear teenagers,
I don’t tell my kids squat. You can stop asking.
Sincerely,
Uncle Pete
We are excited to announce the regulatory reviews are completed, the papers are signed, and as of today Bethesda has officially joined the Xbox Family! So, here’s to the journey….
Some of you might be staying up late to watch our E3 Showcase tonight. If so, your Uncle Pete has you covered for tomorrow.
I only got to show the front of my jersey on the stream. Here’s the back. A gift from my colleagues in our German office a few months ago. Can finally wear it today. #Fallout76
Today is my 21st Anniversary at Bethesda Softworks. I’m grateful for the friends and colleagues I've made and get work with every day. I’m honored to be one of 23 people who have been here for more than 20 years, and one of 75 people who have been here 15+ years.
In case you don't have the day(s) off and need an excuse to stay home and play Skyrim SE, Uncle Pete has you covered.
I can't tell you how incredibly disappointed I am to go into the Twitch chat and discover how many people have no clue how to tell time on an analog watch.
Kids. SMH
I've gotten to try the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers on this thing and was very impressed. I think games are gonna do some really cool things with them.

At Tesla to pick up my new car. Someone was waiting for me when I showed up.
I'm not saying this is a sign that there are larger forces at work here, but....
Congrats to my oldest son, who graduates today from with a degree in comp sci from Univ of Colorado. No in-person ceremony, so a name on the screen will have to do. Proud papa nevertheless.
He was six months old when I started at Bethesda. Jeebus, I’m getting old.
Get to know some of the faces behind the Bethesda games and studios you know and love in our roundtable discussion with - 1pm ET today on Bethesda (and Xbox) YouTube channel: youtube.com/watch?v=D3Wh4B
You’re not crying, I’m crying.
Finally. It finally happened.
I still don’t believe it.
Washington Capitals, Stanley Cup Champions after 43 years of heartbreak.
It finally happened.
Thank you, boys. And congrats. You deserve it.
The original, often-imitated, never-duplicated doctor's note from Uncle Pete has arrived. If you need help getting time off next week, I'm here to help.
Enjoy Reclamation Day! #Fallout76
I'm not apologizing for exclusivity.
I don't "have" to do anything.
Some of our fans are upset/angry, and I'm sorry they are. That isn't wrong, or weird. It's acknowledging how they feel.
That's it. That's my whole point.
I think the Direct is the best thing we have ever made.
Jamie (srsly, how good was she?), Dane, Felipe, Maja, Rick…everyone at who got in front of a camera (most for the 1st time) and were just themselves…. They all took this piece to another level. ❤️👏

You might not know that many folks at game companies tend not to get very excited about E3. It's a ton of hard work and stress. And it's completely exhausting.
But this year, I've noticed we (Bethesda) are all really excited about E3. It's kinda weird, and fun, and nice.
We decided after all the work we’ve done and what she’s been thru after her past abuse, we couldn’t adopt her out. She’s been through too much. So we are keeping her and adding her to our family. Cause four dogs isn’t too many, right?
So, meet our newest family member, Maya.
Here you go. See a whole lot more at our Showcase.
👏
Well done, Sony.

I kinda mark the passage of my time at Bethesda by my oldest son. He was six months old when I started. And now, today, this. Time flies.
I still love this tweet. Happy 9th Birthday Skyrim!

I don't always say stuff that later makes me LOL. "It's a hornet's nest full of Nazis...fuck those guys" is one of those times. #NoMoreNazis
Apparently there’s a shrine near my house that I haven’t visited yet.....

This is pretty new for all of us. Just a reminder that in addition to your physical health, make sure you're looking after your mental health. All this news can be stressful. It's ok to find distraction in things you enjoy at home: movies, tv, games, etc. Make time to be happy.
My team definitely covers all the little details for events like this. #Fallout76
Congrats to my youngest on graduating from high school today! Excited for his next chapter at Wake Forest this Fall. Probably get better grades than his old man did there too.
If you're staying up late or getting up early to watch the #BE3 Showcase, feel free to use any of the excuse notes I've done for tomorrow.
It’s an important week and Uncle Pete wants to be sure you have an excuse to stay home and play Wolfenstein II when it’s released on Friday.
If someone were to go to E3 with limited hearing and no voice left, how big a problem would that be if he had to host, say, a Showcase? Asking for a friend.
5 out of 5. Quenched my thirst for a new mod. Highly recommend.

To celebrate launch, tonight I'm gonna hop online and invade some player games as Julianna. You can change whether you allow a player-controlled Julianna in your game settings. Try it! Maybe it'll be me or someone else from or !

When my wife said she’d meet me at the door when I got home from work, this is not what I was expecting. Or knowing her, maybe it was.
Just letting everyone know that 2021 is the year I start muting people who take anything non-work related I talk and try to turn it back to work. Muted.
Just Tweet @ me. I read them. Don’t be rude or treat me like I’m only an employee 24-7.
Brett gets a pass cuz... new rule.

Prey and Dishonored on Series X|S: FPS Boost isn't just about 60fps

Prey does everything better than every other game thegamer.com/prey-arkane-be
Went to see Rise of Skywalker. Enjoyed it a lot.
Yet another reminder that you should just like what you like and not let others enjoyment of something — or lack thereof — affect what you like to watch, read, listen to, or play.
It doesn’t matter. You be you.
May need to give iTunes a little time for it to update. It'll be up there. We will have info later about Android version.
Tonight I not only got to watch two beloved members of and my dept get married, but I had the privilege be the one to marry them. Congrats and on tying the knot. Love you both and so happy for you. Thanks for including me in your day.
Congrats to the team on all the great comments I’m seeing today that echo this comment. Amazing.

Halo Infinite feels and plays absolutely incredible.
The road to get to this point sure has been a rollercoaster, but what matters is the product players get to play. The team understands Halo and I’m more excited than ever for the journey that will be Halo Infinite.
Big thanks to the folks at who worked with us to get PS4 mod support out for Fallout 4 and Skyrim. Doesn't happen without them.
Very, *very* excited....

A new Indiana Jones game with an original story is in development from our studio, @MachineGames, and will be executive produced by Todd Howard, in collaboration with @LucasfilmGames. It'll be some time before we have more to reveal, but we’re very excited to share today’s news!

I don’t have the words to explain who Robert was. Instead, I ask you to reach out to the people that really mean something to you and tell them. If you just told ‘em...tell ‘em again.
I never really told Robert how much he meant to me and that I loved him. And now it’s too late.

I spent some time this weekend playing online with both my sons. We did ok, but that wasn't the point. It did a lot of good for me and my state of mind at a time when I really needed it.
Thank goodness for video games. ❤️
Given the many challenges we're facing due to the pandemic, we will not host a digital Showcase in June. We have lots of exciting things to share about our games and look forward to telling you more in the coming months.
Since we're doing notes I guess I should include an updated "Doctor's Note" in case anyone has stuff they need to get out of so they can join us on Sunday.

We can’t decide if this is a post to remind you about the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase or to remind you to remind yourself about the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase #XboxBethesda
Yeah, I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess this is my ride the hotel. #Fallout76
Hard to believe this was five years ago tonight. Was a really scary leap to do our first E3 showcase. Brings back fond memories.
Not having an E3 for the first time in decades was weird. Missed seeing industry friends and colleagues. I did not miss the stress and exhaustion.
✅Starfield release date
✅Starfield Direct date
✅Hear from Todd
✅Tim Lamb sighting!

This is why we can't have nice things.
Our 76 players are very funny.
I'm sorry some of you have seen spoilers. I assure you part of a story does not take away from the real story you will play and tell: yours.
Didn’t realize it was 10 years ago this week that we did the big Fallout 3 booth at Gamescom in Leipzig. Time flies.
A couple cool stories and tidbits you've never heard before in here. Hope you enjoy.

I sat down with @XboxP3, @DCDeacon, and the elusive Todd Howard to discuss @bethesda joining the @Xbox family and share a few stories from previous projects. I think you'll enjoy this youtu.be/WI2IPeocbAA
Congrats to my entire team and all our partners on a great Showcase and E3 booth. Incredibly proud of all of you for your creativity and hard work. Love you guys.
Congrats to our friends and colleagues at Xbox on today’s launches!
I still get asked about the cover of Country Roads and when it will be available. It'll be out on iTunes July 4th and we're donating all our proceeds to Habitat for Humanity. Cause it's fun to help build something.

This game is criminally underrated, my obvious bias notwithstanding.

Prey is unbelievably good. Glad I’m finally playing it!
My wife waits until I’m on the other side of the planet to go get two puppies to foster (despite the fact we already have three dogs).
Clever girl.
Our latest foster, Dixie. She’s had a little bit of a rough time but now that she’s with us she has officially hit what we refer to as “The Puppy Jackpot.” Until she finds her forever home, we’re gonna make sure she has a great time and gets lots of love.
Dear :
I’m pretty sure this is not a coincidence. Let’s not anger the hockey gods. Please keep this as a thing, ok?
Your biggest fan,

Dude, just come say hi. I’m the same nerdy dumbass I was in HS when I got picked on for playing games, liking D&D, being short, playing soccer (back when it was not cool to play soccer), etc. I’m just a guy. Give a fellow nerd a hug.
Great article on the one and only @ShirleyScurry and her many, many fans.

Thank you to everyone at and that poured themselves into making that Starfield Direct the last few months. Was an enormous amount of work by a ton of folks. You crushed it. So proud of you all.❤️ #StarfieldDirect
Arkane have delivered remarkable games not enough people have played. Glad to see so many folks grabbing the chance to see what they can do. The Dishonored series is AMAZING! I mean Action GotY good. People are always surprised just how fun Prey is when they actually try it.
