Earlier this week, a tech YouTuber said they had something exciting to share with Xbox fans on 17th February but expected the details to leak beforehand.
This led to speculation that the news could possibly be tied to the long-awaited double framerate enhancements for select backwards compatibility titles on Xbox Series X|S.
With this in mind, during the latest episode of the Xbox Podcast, Major Nelson said there was some news coming soon regarding Xbox enhancements, following on from a chat with Microsoft's Jason Ronald about future Xbox platform updates.
"Very excited he (Jason Ronald) also kind of talked a little bit about it, but I guess I can say a little bit, there will be some enhancement news coming soon. It's all I can say."
Jason Ronald himself noted during their chat how there was a lot of "really exciting things" planned for the coming months and years:
"We've got a lot of really exciting things that are coming down the pipeline over the coming months and over the coming years."
Larry, at the time, added how he expected Jason would also be returning to the podcast sooner rather than later - again suggesting some news might be on the way.
Do you think whatever is "coming soon" has anything to do with doubling BC framerates? Could you see this getting some love next week? Leave a comment down below.

I hope it's the previously-shown 60fps (without using user mods) for fallout and skyrim. I'd love to see them flex those muscles around the time the Bethesda deal finally closes.
I just hope the 60fps stuff is in the "months" window and not years. One of the main reasons I got hyped and preordered a series x was the promise of enhanced Xbox one game. We did get some stuff inherently, like faster load times and steadier frame rate, but that's not what MS promised us.
I'd like to see some kind of change to Achievements. Something like there equivalent of the Platinum Trophy on Xbox. They never change the Achievements or do anything to them.
Give me Sonic in 60 fps, Microsoft !
New I.P. would be exciting.
I think it's a cert it's the double frame-rate BC tech.
Hopefully, they throw in more enhanced BC games as well. Would love something like Lost Odyssey in 4K.
Also, imagine RDR2 in 60FPS if possible...
@Tharsman
It probably means it will be like the original BC program, where they do it game-by-game. So to start with we'll get like 10 popular games enhanced, then they'll do a few more each month.
Just give me a controller that doesn’t disconnect and I’ll be happy
Only happens when I use my rechargeable battery so I am going through a fair few double A’s until the issue is fixed
Give us Fallout in 60 FPS already..
I think we may be seeing some info on something similar to a dual sense controller . I know a lot of Microsoft fanboys poopoo on it but developers and PS5 owners say it's a game changer. Microsoft even had a survey done asking if the community would be interested in one.
@Dezzy hope not, I would rather have a lazy PlayStation 4 Pro Boost Mode toggle over having to wait years for BC games being updated at a snail pace.
@GunValkyrie That's becoming a real problem now. Microsoft and Sony have to figure that out, now. This stocks problem is beyond ridiculous, now.
Embargo for this lifts 9am PST time Wednesday a few youtubers have mentioned now.
More OG/360 back compat games or nee updates for existing ones would be cool.
@Trainer Me too. It will be great to get some xbox news. It's kinda been all quiet for a bit.
