Kinda what I thought. So a nothing burger. At least for now.

Windows Central came out with their own update on the matter as well:

"Additionally, we've been doing some digging of our own and can confirm that the list of "changes" outlined by the above forum aren't based on any current plans within Microsoft and amount to "speculation or guesswork," trusted sources suggest.

However, it's no secret that Microsoft is actively exploring "changes" to Xbox Game Pass, which could include some of the guessed ideas outlined in the forum post.

Our sources say that there's no current plan to remove "day one" games as a feature of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in totality, but like the statement to Paul Tassi says, changes are coming. But, 100% speculatively and analytically: I think it's probably worth expecting that more franchises like Call of Duty may be pulled from day one access even on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate."

Interested to see what we get tomorrow. How I'm wondering it could go

- Kojima (OD trailer along with release window. Maybe Death Stranding 2 Xbox port announced. Talk by Kojima himself)
- Possible Stellar Blade Xbox port announcement for release next year
- Forza Horizon 6 DLC announced
- Trailers from already announced upcoming games (FF7 Revelation, Persona 4 Revival, Crazy Taxi: World Tour, FF Resonance)
- One or two new ports from previously released games (Probably from the likes of Square Enix)

I'm not holding out any hope for new relationship announcements along the lines of Level-5 or Falcom.

I'll see once I get up in the morning what was announced. I'm not getting up at 6am. Xbox has rarely had any major announcements at their TGS showcases. Forza Horizon 6 last year is the exception.

These are some shockingly reasonable PC spec requirements!

Sounds like the second half of the previously announced Xbox layoffs are coming

Any rumors when Disc to Digital is hitting Xbox? Not just for insiders.

Not yet. They're usually available to insiders for a month or two before going public.

There are still more games and publishers being added, and given how huge the reach is for this kind of program, I have to imagine it'll take at least a couple of months.
