Level-5 held a showcase earlier today where they gave some more details about their upcoming games, including Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, Inazuma Eleven RE, and Snack World Reloaded. Unfortunately, while they did announce that Professor Layton and Snack World are now coming to PlayStation 5 and PC in addition to Nintendo Switch, none of their future games are confirmed for Xbox.
I understand that these games may not sell that well on Xbox, but after Fantasy Life i and Inazuma Eleven Victory Road release on the platform, I was hoping that future Level-5 titles would follow suit. I guess not.
In addition to these games,.Level-5 also showed off Decapolice and Holy Horror Mansion, but it hasn't announced new platforms for these games yet. Unless Asha and the new Japanese regional manager at Xbox decide.to step in and provide support to Level 5, it's safe to assume that these games probably aren't coming to Xbox either.

Maybe waiting for a game pass bag. I don’t blame them.
You beat me to it, came here to say this. Really upsetting
If a game can run on PS5 it can run on Xbox at no additional development time, this is a choice made by the developers because they want money, probably hoping that Xbox sends them a message for a gamepass deal.
You can thank the series s for that. They probably would have came to Xbox, but doing double the work for even less sales wouldnt be the best option.
I bought the recent Fantasy Life for full price on Xbox due to all the positive word of mouth and I really thought it was the start of more support from Level 5. I’ve been eyeing the new Inazuma Eleven too but now that none of these games are coming to Xbox I’m not even going to bother
Despite all the headways Xbox has made with a lot of Japanese devs there’s still a lot of work to do sadly
Holy Horror Mansion? Looks like a direct ripoff of luigi’s mansion.
It might come at a later date for Xbox, similar to what happened for Dispatch and Absolum
Another money hatting situation? Hmmm….
Should have been on GP for maximum player counts
