The excitement surrounding the Xbox Developer Direct 2026 continues to grow as the event date approaches. Microsoft has already confirmed the presence of Fable, Forza Horizon 6, and Beast of Reincarnation, but a rumor has been circulating for days that there will be a fourth, unannounced game.
Now, this rumor has gained a new and important twist. The latest information suggests that this mysterious title would not be from an external studio, as initially thought, but rather a project developed within Xbox’s own structure.
The secret game of Xbox Developer Direct 2026 points to an internal project
Journalist Andy Robinson, from Video Games Chronicle, has publicly clarified previous speculation. According to him, his publication has learned that the fourth game at the event would be a first-party original title, developed by one of the studios owned by Microsoft, and not a collaboration with third parties.
- According to this information, we would not be facing a big-budget production like the already announced major titles, but rather a smaller-scale project designed to expand Xbox’s own catalog and give visibility to another of its internal teams. A strategy that fits with the line followed by Microsoft in recent events, where they combine big bets with more contained proposals.
For now, Microsoft has not officially confirmed the existence of this fourth game. All eyes are on the Xbox Developer Direct, which will take place on January 22nd at 7:00 PM (Spanish mainland time). It will be then that doubts will be cleared up and it will be confirmed if this first-party rumor becomes one of the event’s highlights.
