In apost on X(formerly Twitter), Spencer apprises that Microsoft will share their vision for the future of Xbox in a business update event 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.

It’s not yet clear what kind of an event this will be, whether a press release, a live event, or Xbox simply sharing a series of documents highlighting the vision on the official website.

But since Spencer clearly addresses the gaming community in the post, it’s certain that a significant part of the event will be dedicated to Microsoft’s vision of expanding their presently exclusive titles to PlayStation and Nintendo.

The last few months have been buzzing with activity at Microsoft Gaming. Earlier,Microsoft acquired Activision for $69 billion, and within a short while,Microsoft released 1900 employees.

Many in the industry suggested that these could be signs ofXbox going digitaland thatphysical Xbox games might go obsoletein a few years.

Microsoft realizes that PlayStation consoles have been outselling Xbox and thatNintendo Switch has emerged as the best-selling gaming device. So, if profits lie in distributing games to other consoles and networks, that might be Microsoft’s future approach.

If you are planning toswitch from PS5 to Xbox, wait until next week to find out what Microsoft has to say.
