A new store listing for Shadow Man Remastered suggests it will be coming to Xbox this week.

The remaster of the critically acclaimed 1999 Acclaim title was already confirmed to be coming to the PS4 on January 13 and the Nintendo Switch on January 17, but an Xbox release date has still yet to be announced.
