The post has triggered a wave of speculation as to which game Microsoft could bring to Sony's console. In the ResetEra forum, there is particular talk about titles such as Forza Horizon 5, Halo or Starfield. However, the gaming journalist Jez Cordan from Windows Central emphasizes that Forza Horizon 5 is probably not the game to be announced next week, but he does not rule out the possibility of this title being released for the PlayStation at a later date.
Jez Cordan instead brings up other possible candidates, including older titles such as Killer Instinct, State of Decay 2 or the Halo: Master Chief Collection. A port of Hellblade 2 or the unpublished Indiana Jones and the Great Circle could also be an option.
Possible announcement at gamescom
According to Insider Gaming, should an announcement actually be made, it could take place on August 20 as part of the Opening Night Live event at gamescom, which is breaking its own exhibitor record this year with around 1,400 stands.
