Before having official confirmations, certain elements of language were relayed by anonymous employees who recently attended an internal meeting. Among the lot, there was this affirmed desire to position itself as a strong player in multiplatform video games.

This Thursday, February 15, 2024, gamers around the world, mainly fans of Microsoft and its video game branch Xbox, are holding their breath. Lately, the American giant has been very present in the news, even if these are not really happy subjects that are being discussed, like the considerable wave of layoffs that have hit the publisher Activision following its acquisition. At the moment, doubt is creeping into the minds of fervent defenders of the Xbox brand, particularly because rumors are circulating about the deployment of Xbox video games on competing home consoles.

It’s easy to understand that Xbox is going through a week punctuated by a lot of turbulence, even though the big boss of gaming at Microsoft, Phil Spencer, has already gone meet with employees to answer a few questions in order to erase their fear and offer them a better vision of the future of the brand. After this intimate setting, a discussion that can be consulted by everyone will be made available: this famous “Official Xbox Podcast”, bringing together the firm’s big names such as Phil Spencer, Sarah Bond and Matt Booty, is being held this evening at 9 p.m. and is of paramount importance in understanding Xbox’s strategic adjustments in the video game market. So be present!
The Xbox spirit, a screen before being a console? Microsoft wants to be everywhere
However, before the official details, we already have the right to unofficial elements of communication from employees who attended the previously mentioned meeting, as reported by the editorial staff of the site Reverse. According to anonymous sources present during this interview, Microsoft would have announced, through the voice of Sarah Bond, this strategy which would consist of “ exist on multiple device types » – “ every screen is an Xbox », according to this one – and to realize their ambitions to become “ the number one cross-platform game ». A purpose that would be far from being a good thingespecially for gamers.
In order to better convey this message to the audience, Microsoft executives allegedly used the Palworld game (available via Game Pass), more precisely by projecting it on multiple media: tablets, televisions, PC screens and portable devices. Moreover, the mention of this support would have made more than one tilt internally, launching an additional rumor which, this time, speaks of an incursion by the American giant into the portable console market. Deliberately silent on the subject, Microsoft and Xbox will be content with an official communication, starting this evening, to share the main axes of this strategy of the utmost importance.
