Microsoft’s initial slate of exclusive Xbox games debuted on competing platforms early last year, with titles such as and coming to PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, and arriving solely on Xbox previously. The experiment yielded a significant profit for the corporation, prompting CEO Satya Nadella to indicate that additional first-party game titles are imminent in its next iteration. A new innovation is set to emerge rapidly.
A trade insider, shinobi602, recently surfaced on the ResetEra forums, sparking speculation by suggesting another major first-party Xbox title will be announced next week in a series of messages (1, 2, 3), but refrained from providing further details on the game itself.
Shortly after, renowned Xbox leaker eXtas1s responded to speculation on Twitter with a cryptic “Feliz Cinco de Mayo” gif, possibly hinting that the game in question would be coming to PlayStation – a notion that is indeed rooted in Mexico.
Gamescom is just around the corner, with Microsoft confirmed to have a significant presence at the event, kicking things off with the highly anticipated Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 20. It appears likely that next week’s announcement will be where we’ll receive the information.
Microsoft reportedly plans to port a significant portion of its flagship games to rival platforms, with multiple titles already being considered for multi-platform releases.
