Previously, Spencer and the team at Xbox have hidden many key items on shelves during interviews and video chats. Spencer even managed to cleverly hide the Xbox Series S console on a bookshelf before it was officially revealed. There also the interview with Spencer, Major Nelson, and Todd Howard where Howard proudly displayed a relic from the Indiana Jones franchise before the announcement of the upcoming Indiana Jones game. If that wasn't enough, Xbox even snuck the new Xbox Wireless Headset in the Power Your Dreams launch trailer starring Daniel Kaluuya. Because of these constant teases, the recent speculation is more intense than ever.
