The week couldn't have started more busy. Early in the morning, Starfield pointed to its arrival on PS5 after starting a series of rumors that anticipate that Microsoft is planning to release its hitherto exclusive games on additional platforms such as PlayStation or Nintendo Switch. In this way, beyond re-releases of Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves on new consoles, it has been rumored that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle could arrive on PS5 months after the title's original release.
In the last few hours, it has also been rumored that Gears of War could be planning its launch for PlayStation, which has not stopped comments about the possible and surprising strategy that Microsoft would be planning from now on. Such has been the commotion created, that Phil Spencerhead of Xbox, has issued a statement confirming that will provide details next week.
“We are listening and we hear you,” confesses Phil Spencer on the social network X. “We have 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.”
