Phil Spencer Expected to Reassure Employees Regarding Future of Xbox
Microsoft has no intention of abandoning the Xbox. At least, that's according to reports from Phil Spencer's meeting with employees.
There was a lot of talk last week about rumors indicating that some of Microsoft's exclusive titles will be transferred to competing platforms. Some even believe that the giant from Redmond is preparing to abandon the creation of next Xbox consoles. All of this causes anxiety not only among fans of these consoles, but also among Microsoft employees. That's why Phil Spencer had to arrange a meeting with them, during which he tried to calm the mood.
- The undisclosed gathering occurred last week, as journalist Shannon Liao reported, one day after the rumors started circulating online.
- Phil Spencer reassured the assembled employees that Microsoft has no plans to discontinue console production and that future generations of Xbox consoles are a crucial aspect of the company's ongoing development in the gaming industry.
- However, Spencer also stated that these plans include many different types of devices. He didn't, however, confirm the rumors about the development of a version of Starfield for PlayStation 5. It's worth mentioning that the insider who initially spread rumors about the conversion of this game later admitted that he was mistaken.
A conference is scheduled for this week where the Redmond giant will unveil its plans for the future of Xbox. According to Spencer's statements, it seems that Microsoft has no plans to stop developing its own consoles for the time being. However, it seems very likely that some of this company's exclusives will be ported to competitors' consoles. It's almost certain that this will be the fate of Hi-Fi Rush. The open question remains whether other titles will join this game.
