Say what you will, but Starfield and Redfall both being delayed is a massive blow to Xbox, given that these two were the only two notable games coming to the Xbox brand.
Here is the notice:

Yes, it’s a good thing that Microsoft is allowing for the game to be delayed in order for them to address any issues that were occurring during development, but the signs were there that this game, Starfield that is, was not coming in 2022. If you recall, Jason Schreier made a tweet in which he claimed that many Besthesda employees were worried that they wouldn’t be able to make the release date, even going as far as calling it a “Cyberpunk 2077” experience:
Rumors like this keep floating around but Starfield is nowhere near done, according to several ppl familiar with development. It'll be at E3 but the planned release date I've heard is way later than most people expect. Sharing this so that folks keep their expectations in check https://t.co/LVFzmX1XYu

Anyways, this is sad news for Xbox players, so please pour one out for our green boys and girls on this dark day.
