Publisher Xbox Game Studios and developer Relic Entertainment released the real-time strategy game, Age of Empires IV, for the PC in October 2021.
An Xbox port of the game has yet to officially be announced, however, Twitter user @ALumia_Italia has discovered “XIP_CAR_JANUARY_2022” is now viewable on the Xbox Insider Hub for internal testing.
CAR is likely short for Cardinal, which is the internal codename for for Age Of Empires IV.
