Following a day of reports pointing to a potentially seismic shift in Microsoft's approach to its first-party titles, Xbox boss Phil Spencer has confirmed the company will be sharing its “vision for the future of Xbox” in a “business event” next week.
All this began earlier this year, when reports surfaced that Microsoft could be preparing to release Tango Gameworks' acclaimed Hi-Fi Rush on PlayStation and Switch – a rumor that was rapidly followed by claims Rare's multiplayer pirate adventure Sea of Thieves is also readying for release on competing consoles. However, reports began snowballing this weekend, with Starfield, Indiana Jones, and even Gears of War all emerging as candidates for a potential PlayStation release.
As the rumors of Xbox first-party titles going multiplatform have steadily escalated, Microsoft has remained silent, but Xbox boss Phil Spencer has now – following a dramatic day of reports from numerous reliable sources – taken to social media to announce that Xbox will be outlining its future plans in an official “business update event” coming next week.

“We've been planning a business update event for next week,” he continues, where we look forward to sharing more details with you about the future of Xbox. Stay tuned.”
