Xbox Head Phil Spencer was a busy man on Twitter today answering fan questions about the Xbox One. While he suggested that the console will be adding mouse support soon in addition to the already existing keyboard support, he dropped a ton of informational nuggets on the progress of Windows 10 on the console — what games will and won’t be at Gamescom, and more.

Windows 10 is currently slated for a July 29 release to PC and tablets, but is supposed to be integrated into the Xbox One by the end of the year. Spencer wouldn’t give a date for the release when asked, but did say that the release is on schedule.        

The schedule for release is anybody’s guess, but Spencer did say that the Windows 10 update would hit the Xbox One “post-summer” in a Twitter post from May. If the update does go as past updates have, Preview Program members will see the Windows 10 update first followed by a full release a month to two months later.

The Windows 10 update for Xbox One is a complete redesign of the console’s user interface. You can check out a demo of it from E3 in the video below.

Spencer went on to answer several questions about Microsoft’s plans for Gamescom in Cologne, Germany starting August 3. He wouldn’t go into specifics, but did confirm that Quantum Break and Scalebound would be present along with the new Crackdown. Games that won’t be present include the just announced Sea of Thieves from Rare and ReCore from Keiji Inafune’s Comcept Studio in partnership with Armature Studios. He explained that the teams for both games put a lot of effort into E3 and couldn’t afford the time it would take for Gamescom.

Not surprisingly, Phantom Dust will not make an appearance at Gamescom either. Xbox marketing guy Aaron Greenberg confirmed at E3 that development on the game was halted after Darkside Studios was dumped as the developer. It shouldn’t be surprising that the game will not make an appearance, but fans still asking about it shows how much carry the cult hit from the original Xbox still has.

The hope for an Xbox One real-time strategy game (RTS) on the Xbox One still appears to be far off, however. Spencer previously hinted at the possibility of a RTS game on the console, but appears to suggest that a studio isn’t even in the pre-design phases right now. If that’s the case, an RTS is more likely to show up streamed from a Windows 10 PC to the console versus being played on the console itself.

I'm very excited for Scalebound. As for Quantum Break, I'm excited that they will be showing it, but, they've already shown gameplay. I need a release date.

Yes we need some release dates, I'm sure it's 2016 but when in 2016? Spring? Summer or Fall? However I bet one Spring, One Fall Or both fall. 3 Big hits for fall would be nice but then what do they have for spring? They need some games to release during spring as well.

ReCore Could release next fall and have scalebound or Quantum release in the spring.

Obviously we cannot know until they have done it, but in principle I like their idea of showing off a strong 2015 line-up at E3, then following up with a 'coming next year' type Gamescon!

Yes, while also keeping momentum alive for the games already shown. I think this is a great marketing idea they have came up with. Hyping up Xbox One before the holiday and giving people a glimpse into the future and not, should I say, blow their load to early.

IF they both end very good game i am sure i end up buying xboxone even if i hate microsoft :)  i can't pass to good rpg or action/adventure game

They look amazing and Remedy did great on Alan Wake. So I'm sure you will be buying one soon or later.
