Phil Spencer Claims Much Has Changed From Leaked Xbox Documents, Will Share “When We Are Ready”
Phil Spencer has personally acknowledged the leaks of multiple Xbox documents and made his own comments on them.
On Twitter, Phil said this:
“We’ve seen the conversation around old emails and documents. It is hard to see our team’s work shared in this way because so much has changed and there’s so much to be excited about right now, and in the future. We will share the real plans when we are ready.”
It has now become clear that the Xbox document leaks is the biggest single leak in the industry since the Nintendo Gigaleak from a few years back. That leak involved production assets, including concept art, that weren’t used in the games.

The leak was avoidable, but not the result of hacking or social engineering. Microsoft shared links to their unredacted data to the courts, as they were required to do. The courts then shared those links directly to the public, without checking if documents were redacted.

This isn’t because they’re trying to deny any of it is true, but because speaking up about changes, for example, would essentially be leaking even more information themselves, and they need to keep new secrets for their business.
So, Xbox fans
