Rumours about new publishers joining Xbox Game Studios have been floating around the social media and gaming forums for quite a while now, with some sources suggesting that the company could announce a new acquisition this year.
Today, a well-know YouTuber ACG has revealed that Microsoft are in the midst of acquiring a studio that is set to release a major AAA game in 2021. This game could end up being a timed-exclusive for Xbox Series X, if the deal goes through.
Here's the interesting bit regarding the Microsoft acquisition and a potential exclusive game.

As always with rumours, take this with a grain of salt, until we get an official confirmation. ACG is not really known as an industry insider, at least not until now.
