The Game Business has just made a tweet confirming they were mistaken in reporting that Obsidian is being considered for closure, following Jason Schreier debunking their reporting:

https://xcancel.com/thegamebusiness/status/2072723341325037790

> Obsidian was listed as a company in negotiation with Xbox over potential closure. This was a mistake.

Appeared today on the FCC website.

At the link at the bottom of the page, under "Users Manual_Statement" on Page 11:

>Headset Battery Safety And Replacement

>The Headset contains a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The Frame Enthusiast kit also includes a hot-swappable lithium-ion battery pack.

Unclear what the Enthusiast Kit will contain beyond the extra battery, if anything.

Following up his (now deleted) previous posts, he clarified the following:

> Two of the studios I've been told, including getting messages from employees at the locations who are "scared", are Compulsion and Arkane.

> Despite public messaging, many within the studios have expressed real worry and have overheard conversations about the future of the studios.

> I've reached out to Xbox for comment, but to no avail thus far.

EDIT: Another follow up post from Mike Straw

> Some employees who spoke to me are higher up within the studios, and have said there is "real concern" that they're next based on the messaging from the company.

>Valve has confirmed the Steam Machine will launch "this summer" after pushing it out of spring. A price, however, hasn't been announced.

>I've heard rumblings that the price is "nowhere near" where it was originally planned, but don't know what that is.

>⚠️ UPDATE ⚠️

>Rayman Legends Retold should feature a couch co-op mode only (not online)

>✅ WILL INCLUDE A FREE COPY of Rayman Origin Enhanced Edition

>💿 As usual, Game Key Card on Switch 2 & Internet required to install the game in PS5 disc

>➕ Exclusively, Box art preview 👀

Boxart is mostly blurred but shows the Switch 2 version will be a Game-Key Card.

Pure speculation here but I'm assuming the 40 Origins levels in Legends are going to be cut from Retold, which is why they're giving the Origins remaster alongside it.

Confirmed by Xbox on Twitter just now.

> This year is packed with incredible games for XBOX players to enjoy, from Halo: Campaign Evolved, Gears of War: E-Day and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 to Control Resonant, Star Wars: Galactic Racer and Grand Theft Auto VI. In order to plan our game launches through the holidays, in a way that works best for players, we’re moving Fable to February 2027 so it can have the dedicated moment it deserves. We’re excited to be giving players a major new look at Fable, as well as our broader lineup, at XBOX Games Showcase on June 7.
