The success of the Xbox Developer Direct has now spawned rumors, as Windows Central editor and well-known Microsoft insider Jez Corden said during a recent episode of The XB2 podcast, "I have heard that they are exploring doing another one this year. So like don't be surprised if we do get another dev directly share at some point." Corden went on to mention that Xbox has quite a lot to show off this year, and said he has heard Xbox specifically is discussing a second Developer Direct, and not a "Partner Preview".
