Interestingly, insiders reveal that Microsoft had initially intended to unveil this business update later this month, coinciding with the announcement of Hi-Fi Rush's availability on PS5 and Nintendo Switch. However, the recent surge in speculation surrounding Hi-Fi Rush, Starfield, and other Xbox titles potentially making their way to PS5 prompted Microsoft to expedite its plans. Consequently, the company has now confirmed a dedicated "business update event" for the upcoming week.

Previously discovered game assets through data mining hinted at the potential release of Hi-Fi Rush on PS5 and Nintendo Switch. These findings, coupled with ongoing rumors of Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves branching out beyond the Xbox ecosystem, have intensified the need for Microsoft to directly address these speculations. The upcoming business update event is expected to serve as a platform for Microsoft to articulate its revised Xbox strategy and shed light on the future trajectory of its gaming endeavors, particularly in the aftermath of the monumental $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
