Microsoft has been in the news ever since the Xbox maker announced the eyebrow-raising giant deal, worth $68.7 billion, with Call of Duty publisher Activision. In the last few months, the company remained very active as well in sharing many ambitious updates for the future. Surprisingly, though, the recently concluded Game Awards lacked major Xbox announcements.

Following a negative reaction of loyal fans on the social media, the Xbox Vice President for marketing took to Twitter to assure them of multiple reveals in the next year. Now, we do have an extra intel on this situation and it’s quite interesting to say the least.

Xbox might come up with an event in Q1 2023, based on the latest rumor

A lot of Xbox enthusiasts wondered why there was no news for any in-development title from Microsoft as soon as The Game Awards wrapped up. Some of the well-known people from the gaming space expressed their disappointment on the complete lack of updates and announcements from the team. Have a look at them below:

Another reason for such reactions was that rival Sony left no stone unturned in gaining huge attention during The Game Awards. The prestigious event saw the PlayStation giant coming out with numerous updates and surprise announcements for projects like Death Stranding 2. On the other hand, Xbox had nothing to show.
