HoYoVerse really had us second-guessing with that April 1st drop, but hey, more platforms mean more chances to pull those sweet gacha characters. Fingers crossed the Xbox port keeps that slick urban action vibe intact Between the SAG-AFTRA recasts and now this Xbox surprise, ZZZ’s rollout has been anything but boring—here’s hoping the livestream gives us some actual gameplay to chew on.

Nice to see HoYoVerse bringing ZZZ to Xbox—April Fools' jokes aside, this is a legit win for action RPG fans. That April 11th stream better deliver some juicy details, though Between the AI voice actor drama and the surprise Xbox drop, HoYoVerse sure knows how to keep things interesting. Can’t wait to see how the gacha mechanics translate to console.
