"Y'all please.. click on the hashtag and take a scroll before guessing it's the Xbox 720"

No, Microsoft isn't making an "Xbox 720" despite what you might be seeing on social media.

The Xbox UK Twitter account took a match and lit the internet on fire this week when it cryptically tweeted, "Something little is coming..." with a video of a green meteor rocketing through the atmosphere. The post has a hashtag that reads, "ScoreMoreWithXbox."

So, what was Xbox really teasing with that tweet? Well, I think even Xbox itself would happily admit that it was something much less exciting than an Xbox 720. If you take Stein's advice and do a quick scroll-through of the ScoreMoreWithXbox hashtag, you'll see it's actually related to an FC 25 giveaway that comes with a controller and a custom jersey. Still cool, just not 'new hardware announcement imminent' cool.

Cool off with a pick from the best Xbox Series X|S games of all time or get hyped for all the new games of 2025 and beyond.
