Key notes

  • Xbox fans could soon play Age of Empires 4 if the internal test by Microsoft is anything to go by.
  • The game has had tremendous success on Steam and now console gamers would like to be part of the fun.
  • Although unofficially, Microsoft could soon surprise the gamers by bringing it to Xbox.

Xbox fans could soon join in the fun of playing Age of Empires IV on their consoles if the internal developments currently ongoing in Microsoft are plausible.

Microsoft has been for a while trying to bring licensing back by releasing definitive editions of the game, new content, and the release of the fourth game.

It has been a while since the last Age of Empires was released and with the release of Age of Empires IV videos, it would only make sense to enjoy the full package on Xbox too.

Age of Empires IV soon on Xbox consoles

It might be too early to celebrate this news because the internal tests could mean anything and do not necessarily mean there will be a launch on consoles.

However, from the information provided, it seems the developers are very much interested in exploring the idea but are yet to adapt the gameplay to a controller.

At this point, its fans will have to exercise a little more patience hoping for an announcement in favor of the arrival of the game on Xbox consoles. 

‘We think about you. As soon as we’re done handling the game’s release on PC, we’ll start thinking about how to get it to work on consoles. We don’t have any definitive plans yet, but it’s now that we’re going to really start thinking about it.

Age of Empires 4 is getting closer to the Xbox consoles. The game is tested by Microsoft and the developers do not shy away from the grand plans they have.

There is also a possibility for the game to transfer to other platforms so it’s all good news.
