Update:






In a statement provided to Windows Central, Ami Silverman, who leads Xbox's consumer said that Xbox devices remain available in all currently supported regions, specifically noting Saudi Arabia.
When these rumors initially cropped up, our sources denied that Xbox had any plans to exit Saudi Arabia, or indeed any region where they are presently operating.
Ami Silverman, Xbox Chief Consumer Sales Officer responded with the following statement:

"Xbox devices are available in all current Xbox hardware-supported countries, including Saudi Arabia," Silverman emphasized. "Console availability may vary by country but Xbox games can be played on consoles, PCs, and on phones, tablets or TVs where Xbox Cloud Gaming is available." Silverman also noted that players can head to xbox.com/regions to see where Xbox will continue to be available, and what types of support you can expect per region.

So basically it's true that they're pulling out in the Middle East since Jez Corden is denying it through "sourcing." Jez is an extension of Xbox PR. Lol.

I've seen reports about Microsoft potentially pulling Xbox consoles in Saudi Arabia. While you can still buy an Xbox in this region, reports suggest retailers won't be able to purchase new stock of consoles soon. Microsoft's comment doesn't directly address the stock rumors.
