A recently leaked Microsoft document has taken the gaming community by surprise, shedding light on Xbox‘s long-term plans until 2030. Intended for a legal battle with the FTC (Federal Trade Commission of the United States), the document surfaced without the expected censorship, offering a candid look into Xbox’s strategies and interests. Among the many revelations, one tantalizing detail has stirred excitement – the possibility of a PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2.
