![RUMOR | Microsoft might not launch this year's Call Of Duty on Xbox Game Pass “It'll be interesting to see... if they take Call of Duty out of Game Pass this year — which is a possibility from what I've heard — I think it'll reveal some of the cracks in the strategy [with Game Pass] possibly,” via: Jez Corden](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2043317809111871760/amplify_video_thumb/2043317573937176576/img/jRXkyk3BiQZPzP0o.jpg)

![Asha Sharma says Project Helix is a ‘family of devices,’ not just one console — Built for performance with affordability “We've been hard at work on a great next generation and a great family of devices for Project Helix. We will continue to push the boundaries of performance [...] we've talked about being able to play console and PC games on your console.” “I think in addition all of the industry needs to start to innovate on affordability and efficiency [...] all of us need to be thinking about and innovating on and giving people more choice in terms of how they play their console and how they purchase their console.” “And so our job as Xbox, as we continue on in our next generation, is to take into consideration what's happening in the world and build the best experience for our players. This next generation, we have to be thinking about efficiency and affordability alongside performance.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2093505321117327671/amplify_video_thumb/2093504155478351872/img/vzOKxVrqZGznQ3-q.jpg)

Obsidian will continue to work on Avowed 2 | Jason Schreier "Obsidian have a small team that was working on Avowed 2, that's going to still work on Avowed 2 even though it is canceled. While they wait for other projects like Fallout to be ready for them. Maybe in hopes of getting it uncancelled, it was actually further along than most people would guess for a sequel to a game that came out last year. So I think their hope is perhaps they'll get it so close to finish that Xbox will look at it and say "Okay you can finish and release this, it won't cost that much more to finish it".

RUMOR | Xbox to potentially pull games from Steam, according to Jez Corden “Microsoft has some plans with regards to how they show up on PC shall I say and I don't know what that pertains to with regards to steam. But the plans that I know about, and I've got to be careful here, plans suggest, it gives them a window to potentially pull out of Steam. So I would not be shocked if eventually we do see a universe where Microsoft, quits steam. But, I mean, we'll have to wait and see. I think it could go either way right now. I'm trying, I'm doing my research.” via: Xbox Two Podcast

RUMOR | John Linneman said he heard from a couple of sources that Microsoft was very much going to continue disc support before the Xbox “reset” He heard “Microsoft was actually very much going to continue disc support, not because they value disc retail sales but because they wanted to ensure that all your Xbox games were still be playable on new Xboxes.” He mentioned that Xbox “could offer maybe like an external drive or basically some means. And I think that might all tie into this disc to digital stuff as well.” Also speculated that he sees a “future where Microsoft supports physical games going forward for users that want to take their library with them while Sony just completely cuts people off.” via: Digital Foundry
