Which Bethesda Games Are Multiplayer? Xbox Game Pass Analysis

In the Bethesda roundtable livestream yesterday, Microsoft announced that they would be bringing 20 classic Bethesda games to the Game Pass subscription service.

As it seems like the COVID-19 pandemic is beginning to wrap up (sometimes I feel like if I say that enough it will be true), gamers are looking for new multiplayer games to try.

We’re still a ways out from being able to congregate and enjoy games together in the same room, so here’s a look at which Bethesda games have Game Pass multiplayer modes.

Multiplayer Game Pass Games

The list of Game Pass multiplayer games is pretty slim when compared to the large array of single-player experiences. The new Bethesda additions aren’t going to tip that scale in a new direction either. Here are the three multiplayer Bethesda Game Pass games:

Fallout 76

The Elder Scrolls Online

Wolfenstein: Youngblood

While the short length of the list is certainly disappointing for co-op fans, what’s potentially even more disappointing is that all three of those games were already on the service.

Single-player Game Pass Games

The other games on this list are pretty self-explanatory. They’re all the games that have no co-op features that are being introduced to the service:

Dishonored Definitive Edition

Dishonored 2

Doom (1993)

Doom II

Doom 3 

Doom 64

Doom Eternal

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition 

The Evil Within 

Fallout 4

Fallout: New Vegas

Prey

Rage 2

Wolfenstein: The New Order

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

Looking at this list of titles, however, it’s hard to be disappointed in any of these games. Bethesda as a publisher and developer isn’t particularly known for its multiplayer experiences, so the fact that the large majority of the games headed to the service are single-player doesn’t come as much of a surprise.
