Xbox gamers were sent into a frenzy yesterday when Xbox Xbox executive Julie Larson-Green made a surprise post on her personal Twitter account. Larson-Green, who serves as head of Microsoft’s Devices and Studios group, surprised her followers with the tweet about upcoming Xbox gaming developments.
The post, which came without additional details, was quickly met with excitement and speculation from the gaming community. Thousands of responses and likes, as well as hundreds of retweets, flooded the social media platform. Many of Larson-Green’s followers asked for additional information while others just enjoyed the tease.
Later in the day, Microsoft’s Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, retweeted the post with the caption, “Julie always knows how to get our gamers excited. Lots of great things coming soon.” He then followed up with a post of his own, indicating that more details will be released soon.
The buzz Larson-Green has created around the upcoming project has been welcomed by Xbox Fans, who have had to endure a relative shortage of news and reveals in recent months. With Microsoft preparing for the next generation of gaming, the exact nature of the project remains unknown. However, the hype surrounding the post suggests that whatever it is, it will be big.
