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.

You don't say.

Title is false. The quote by ms doesn't deny them leaving the region, rather Xbox hardware is currently available.

I feel like that statement is purposely vague

Yeah, this isn't actually a denial at all...

 

[quest4441]

bruh they will say gamepass is available in saudi ergo xbox didnt leave the region, this is corpo bullshit 101- always leave a backdoor open

 

[Say1nMan]

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.

 

[Evilms]

On re-reading this is not a denial at all, it's more like: '‘we're here while current stock is still available, but get used to play on PC or Xbox Cloud Gaming in the future’'.

@Bo_Hazem you're a bad bastard. You keep consoles out of the country but allow them sell games for a console they can't own.

It's always shocking how this pigboy has access to all the top MS employees, Phil's private phone and private jet

Jizz knows about MS' Saudi operations but not one person to point out MS IP being developed for Playstation. Seems reasonable.

We have the least filth from Microsoft.

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.

So its True. Everything Jez says its the opposite

Jizz replied, the end is near.
