Why people are searching for an Xbox release in 2027

The reported console exclusivity lasts at least 12 months from release. Applied to the October 28–29, 2026 launch, that points to late October 2027 at the earliest. This is calendar arithmetic based on the exclusivity term, not a promise that an Xbox port will arrive that month.

That older report uses the original September date; the S-GAME launch update establishes the revised October date. The site FAQ records the late-October-2027 interpretation. No cited source announces an Xbox port or Game Pass deal.
