After over a week swirling rumors where the Xbox community was sent Meltdown As for the future of the console and its exclusive games, the company is ready to provide clarity on what is to come. The Xbox Twitter account posted today that it will release a special edition of the Official Xbox Podcast on Thursday, February 15th at 3:00 p.m. ET. The episode is hosted by Phil Spencer (CEO of Microsoft Gaming), Sarah Bond (President of Xbox) and Matt Booty (Head of Xbox Game Studios). The three will share “Xbox Business Updates.”

That comes after Phil Spencer said last week that the company would host some sort of business update event that would shed light on “our vision for the future of Xbox.” Many assumed that this would take place in the form of a live show, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. You would expect good news to be spread as widely as possible, and a podcast doesn’t inspire that kind of trust that it’s “good” news. However, considering that the reaction to rumors that Xbox-exclusive games might be coming to rival platforms hasn’t been exactly positive from a large portion of the Xbox fan base, it’s not hard to see why the company wouldn’t want to pull everything back stop for whatever the news may be.

It’s worth noting that the podcast’s broadcast date is a few hours later than the usual time Nintendo directs aired on a day rumored to be hosting a Nintendo Direct. Should one actually be announced, it would add credence to the rumor that Xbox games (like the ones previously rumored) will bring credence HiFi Rush) will be released on the Switch. If the Nintendo Direct reveals that HiFi Rush or other games that were previously exclusive to Microsoft’s platform are coming to the Switch, then Xbox wants to clarify how this relates to the company’s plans for the future. There are currently rumors that a number of Xbox games are coming to rival platforms, with major tentpole titles being planned Senua’s Saga And Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
