In a recent internal Xbox meeting, Microsoft's gaming division expressed its ambition to turn "every screen" into an Xbox, according to a new report. The meeting, held on February 6, featured Xbox bosses Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond addressing their staff in response to rumors of multiplatform releases for first-party games like Starfield and Indiana Jones.

Inverse, a news outlet, reports that Bond showcased the Xbox Game Pass title Palworld on a variety of tablets, TVs, and handheld devices to illustrate her point that "every screen is an Xbox." Journalist Shannon Liao, who covered the meeting, wrote that Bond extensively discussed Xbox's strategy of existing on different types of devices and their aspiration of becoming the leading cross-platform gaming company.

Although the report emphasizes Xbox's commitment to console gaming, it suggests that Xbox consoles may become a smaller part of Microsoft's overall gaming strategy in the future. This aligns with previous endeavors such as Xbox Cloud Gaming, which allows players to stream games to various devices.

The rumors surrounding the future of Xbox as a console platform have sparked intense debate among the gaming community. To shed more light on the matter, an Xbox podcast featuring Phil Spencer is scheduled for February 15, where more information is expected to be revealed.

Regardless of the outcome, Xbox fans can look forward to a lineup of upcoming Xbox Series X games. With their expanding reach across different screens, Microsoft aims to provide gamers with immersive experiences wherever they play.
