The Witness For Xbox One Appears On ESRB Listing
The Witness is coming to the PS4 and PC on January 26, but an ESRB rating has popped up also mentioning the Xbox One.
The listing, which lists the PC, PS4, and Xbox One (but not the iOS version) does not give a specific date for any of the releases.
The game is a home console limited-time exclusive on the PS4 but no timeframe has been given for an eventual Xbox One release. The game's official website says that the title will come to other platforms "a bit later."
We've contacted a representative for developer Thekla about the listing, and will update this story if we get any details.
For a look at the game's visuals, check out this trailer.

Our Take
Jonathan Blow seems to be a conscientious developer, so when he and company Thekla say the game will be out later rather than sooner, I believe it will be to make sure the port is handled correctly and not just because of the exclusivity period.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
