Bethesda director Todd Howard is a bšŸ¦„ig fan of both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X and prefers both consoles to the PC eāœ…xperience.

In a new interview with (thanks, ), Howard chatted aboš“°ut his "great experience" working with Xbox pre and post-acquisition, and called the Xbox Series X "an incredible machine." Tantalizingly, he also said the developers at Xbox have spent some time teaching him - and presumably Bethesda's developers - how to make the Xbox Series X "really, really dance."

Speaking on 澳擲幸运5å¼€å„–å·ē åŽ†å²ęŸ„čÆ¢:Starfield's previou🄃sly confirmed Xbox exclusivity, he also admitted that the PS5 is "an insane machine" and that Sony did "a great job" on its newest console.

Howard added that while there are times he prefers to be "two feet" away from the screen, he usually likes kicking back and playiā™ng ♕one of his consoles.

"I am more of a console player because I sit at my PC at work all day," Howard added. "I play a lot of video games, so when I get home, I am a sofa,į©šį©šį©šį©šį©šį©šā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©šā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©šā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©šš’€±į©šį©šį©š screen, contšŸ—¹roller person."

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SF🌠X Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
