Sony kunne for nylig slå fast via en meddelelse til deres investorer, at selvom de lige nu ikke forventer forsinkelse af deres kommende spil, som The Last of Us: Part II og Ghost of Tsushima, som følge af Coronavirusudbrudet, så er der ingen garanti for at der ikke sker noget alligevel, alt efter hvordan situationen udvikler sig.
Nu har Microsoft gjort det samme. I en besked til deres fans fortæller Matt Booty, at hvert studie har været udfordrede af COVID-19, og at det ikke endnu er til at sige om der bliver forsinkelser.
"We know that gaming connects people during times of social distancing, and we are committed to delivering the highest quality Xbox Game Studios games for our global community of players. At the same time, the health and safety of our XGS development teams is our top priority. Each studio is facing unique challenges and constraints depending on its particular location, and many of our external development partners around the world are similarly affected. We are supporting our studio leaders to make the right decisions for their teams and their individual games during this challenging time."
Vi må se tiden an, men det er vist for tidligt at sige om hvorvidt spil specifikt forsinkes. Dog lader det ikke til at konsollen selv rammes.
