Phil Spencer, director of Xbox, has confirmed an "informative business event" to present the company's vision for the future of Xbox. This announcement comes amidst rumors and speculation in the past week about the possibility of Microsoft games being released on competing consoles such as PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

The rumors about the potential multiplatform nature of Xbox exclusives have generated significant interest, but Microsoft has remained silent until now. Phil Spencer's message on social media indicates the company's willingness to address fan concerns, mentioning that they are preparing the event for next week.

 

We're listening and we hear you. We've been planning a business update event for next week, where we look forward to sharing more details with you about our vision for the future of Xbox. Stay tuned.

The rumored multiplatform plan of Xbox, originally expected to be revealed before the end of the fiscal year, may have been accelerated due to recent rumors and fan concerns. It is speculated that titles such as Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Gears of War, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and the next game from id Software could be released on PlayStation 5 as part of this new strategy.

The words chosen by Phil Spencer, referring to an "informative business event," raise questions about potential changes in Xbox's traditional exclusivity model. The event will likely clarify Microsoft's strategy and its impact on the future of Xbox games.
