Disney may be partnering with Xbox once again, this time to develop a new Star Wars game, according to a rumor gaining traction in the gaming community. The news comes from Xbox influencer Riskit4TB, who shared the potential collaboration via Twitter, citing inside information that Disney is eager to work with Xbox following the critical acclaim of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
Not Their First Team-Up
If true, this would not be the first time Xbox and Disney have joined forces. The two recently collaborated on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, developed by MachineGames, best known for the Wolfenstein series under Bethesda. Released in December 2024, the game received glowing reviews and made waves again in April 2025 by launching on PlayStation 5 — a rare move for a first-party Xbox title.
The New Era of Star Wars Games
The Star Wars franchise has been flourishing in gaming ever since EA’s exclusivity deal expired in 2023. New projects from a wide array of studios have emerged, including:
-
Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws – the first open-world Star Wars game, releasing in 2024.
-
Quantic Dream’s Star Wars Eclipse – a narrative-heavy mystery project.
-
EA’s third entry in the Jedi series, in development.
-
Aspyr’s remake of Knights of the Old Republic and other remastered titles.
-
Bit Reactor’s Star Wars: Zero Company – an XCOM-style strategy game.
The latest rumor adds another exciting title to the ever-expanding list — possibly a major exclusive for Xbox platforms.
A Strategic Move for Xbox?
After the roaring success of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, it makes strategic sense for Disney to tap into Xbox’s development power again — especially with studios like MachineGames, Arkane, and others under Microsoft’s wing. Disney already has Marvel’s Blade in development with Arkane Lyon, signaling their intent to deepen partnerships in premium AAA titles.
If the rumor holds water, this new Star Wars title could become a flagship project for the Xbox Series X|S era.
For now, the idea of an Xbox-exclusive Star Wars game remains unconfirmed, but the pattern of recent collaborations and the success of their previous work together lends weight to the possibility. Gamers should keep an eye on upcoming Xbox events — especially the summer showcase — where more details might surface.
