Xbox head Phil Spencer takes to Twitter to answer fan questions and says Microsoft may put together a major event sometime before the end of the year.
Microsoft surprised some Xbox fans about three weeks ago when the company announced it would not be holding a press briefing at this month’s gamescom. Instead, Microsoft will hold an Xbox FanFest that coincides with the event, allowing some of its diehard fans to get a glimpse at what’s coming next for Xbox One, including some of the games that Microsoft first showed at E3 2016.
But the lack of an official gamescom press briefing does not mean that Microsoft doesn’t have anything new coming down the pipeline. In fact, Xbox head Phil Spencer recently tweeted that Xbox fans can look forward to another event this fall that sounds like it may be similar to the PlayStation Experience that Sony has held in Las Vegas and San Francisco the last two years.
Spencer made the comments while replying to several fans on Twitter. He was asked if Microsoft had any upcoming plans since gamescom would not have a briefing and responded by saying, “We will have things to say this Fall, we’ll find the right times.” When pressed for more details, he added, “I want to visit some fans I haven’t visited before and we have some things to say before end of 2016, so we’ll find the times.”
Finally, one fan directly asked Spencer if “you guys ever thought of doing an event like PlayStation Experience?” and Spencer replied by pointing out that the company used to hold similar events like the “X0 events, like X09 etc in Europe.”
