VGC magazine published a news article about the announcement of Minecraft Dungeons II, specifically highlighting PS5 and Switch 2 for the otherwise fully multiplatform release. Since many people read only headlines and not full articles, it's a baffling, but maybe not that surprising thing to highlight everything but Xbox and PC.
These are the little things on a daily basis that both fuel, and are the result of, the bias against Xbox in mainstream media.
(For reference: The proper headline could've been: "Minecraft Dungeons is getting a sequel this year")

That is pretty weird
Least insane Xbox fanboy.
They’re using potentially incendiary language on purpose, the original Minecraft dungeons was available on ps4 and Switch, but not specifically supported on PS5 or switch 2. It’s a poor marketing idea, but I get why they do it.
Anti-Xbox rhetoric is somehow fabricated on global scale. This, and many similar things are not done by accident.
Minecraft has always been cross-platform, why focus on PS5/Switch?
The reason is PlayStation and Switch has more players so they are more likely to click on articles like this. In the article it does list it’s coming to Xbox as well but the headline is just for the most clicks without being convoluted.
1) its owned by microsoft so people know it will be on xbox
2) the literal first sentence of the article says “coming to pc, xbox, ect”

Whoever wrote that article can kick rocks.
They focus on PS and Switch cause Microsoft owns the rights to the IP. Of course it’ll be on Xbox and PC.
This is like complaining that an article doesn’t mention the next Halo will be on Xbox.
Could just be because Microsoft owns Minecraft so its assumed it will be available on those platforms, its more of a thing for them to highlight the fact it will also be out on the other platforms.
