Project Spark’s long awaited Xbox One public beta could be very close, as close as next week, according to a tweet from Microsoft Studios’ corporate vice president, Phil Spencer.

Microsoft’s Phil Spencher was asked by fan on Twitter if there was any news about the Xbox One beta of Project Spark. The exec answered that it should be next week according to what he had heard last.

@raydeal3 Last they told me it was next week but @proj_spark will have latest info. — Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) February 9, 2014

A Facebook post by the developer later confirmed that it’s still working to fix some of the remaining bugs in its sandbox, while still aiming for a launch this month.

This seems in line with Team Dakota’s plan to release the beta in February, though that could change of course.
