We're less than a week away now from Xbox Developer Direct 2025, and with the other day's Switch 2 expose now securely in the rear-view mirror, all eyes are on Microsoft and its next huge display. The concern is, the number of surprises will be loaded into this year's program?
We currently understand about one surprise, validated by Team Xbox, and now Windows Central press reporter Jez Corden is teasing that there may Be more. It's an unclear post we confess, with a huge focus on the “perhaps”, however Corden is recommending that Dev Direct '25 might provide “more than one surprise” next week.
What a prospective 2nd surprise could be? Who understands. The very same outlet currently declares to understand that a person trick will be revealed as the return of a “famous Japanese IP”, and now Corden is hypothesizing on more possible surprises. Here at Pure Xbox we just recently drifted the concept of another ‘shadow drop' from Xbox next week, so possibly a 2nd surprise could take shape because method? We do not need to wait long to discover!
As normal with these sorts of posts, we'll include the caution that this is simply a rumour in the meantime – up until the huge program next week anyhow. Xbox Developer Direct 2025 occurs on January 23rd, and for all of the occasion's timings, take a look at our associated news post down below.
Ideas on there perhaps being numerous surprises at Dev Direct? Anticipate what they may be down in the remarks!
