Xbox diehards have been in crisis over rumors that beloved first-party exclusives are going multiplatform. The future of the company is set to be discussed in the next Official Xbox Podcast. Here’s how to watch.

Last week on February 5, credible reports that Starfield may be coming to PlayStation 5 broke the internet. Following that, the floodgates opened with inside sources claiming that multiple Xbox first-party exclusives would be going multiplatform including the Halo franchise.

The unconfirmed reports caused a shockwave in the Xbox fan communities with disgruntled players even selling their Series X and S consoles in revolt. Xbox head Phil Spencer called for calm and announced that an explanation was coming though notably, he did not dispel the rumours.

After a brief period of silence on when exactly this update would come, Xbox finally announced that this would be discussed on its podcast. So, here’s all the info on how to watch the Official Xbox Podcast including the date, time, and platforms.

Xbox Business Update date and time

The Official Xbox Podcast is set to air on February 15, 2024. The airtime for the podcast is 12 PM ET / 3 PM ET / 8 PM GMT.

Xbox announced this via X and revealed that this benchmark episode of the Official Xbox Podcast would feature Phil Spencer, Sarah Bond, and Matt Booty as speakers. The primary topic of conversation will be “updates on the Xbox business”.

An earlier post on X from Phil Spencer referred to the reveal of an incoming strategy that he called “the future of Xbox”. This will likely have something to do with these multiplatform rumors that have been dogging the company.

Official Xbox Podcast platforms

A video version of the Official Xbox Podcast will be uploaded to Xbox’s YouTube channel on February 15. Audio versions will be made available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Xbox Wire among other Podcasting platforms.

For those who are serious about following the future of Xbox, we’d recommend the video version on YouTube. Having the context of facial expressions and visual aids is always worthwhile.

That’s all the info you’ll need to watch this upcoming episode of Official Xbox Podcast. We’ll see you after it airs to unpack what was said.
