🎮 Project Saluki & “Positron” Leak
Could this be a new Game Pass Tier AND a Disc‑to‑Digital Program? A new backend leak has revealed Project Saluki, an unannounced Xbox Game Pass tier that appears to sit below Core and above the rumoured TRITON tier. But, even more interesting is “Positron,” a potential disc‑to‑digital conversion program that would let players register physical Xbox games to their digital library. The system references barcode scanning, ownership validation, and library syncing. If real, this would be one of the biggest consumer‑friendly moves Xbox has made in years. Now, if they got it working with PlayStation games and allowed you to move your library across... Project Helix will be even better value!
💸 Xbox Announces a New, Cheaper Version of Game Pass, Kinda... Discord leaked it, so Microsoft officially revealed it. A new budget Game Pass tier, designed for players who want access to a small library without cloud gaming or day‑one releases. The tier is priced lower than Game Pass Essentials and focuses on affordability during Xbox’s broader subscription restructuring. Think of it as Discord Nitro Plus. Sadly, Online Console is not included. What a missed opportunity.
🟩 Asha Sharma’s Big Xbox Reveal... Kinda...
Take this one with a big grain of salt because the source is "Trust me bro". But because its news, we'll still chat about it. Asha Sharma has "confirmed" new details about Project Helix, the next‑generation Xbox designed around hybrid local/cloud play and deep Windows integration. She also revealed that Halo 2 and 3 remakes are in development, built to re‑establish Halo as a flagship franchise. Sharma emphasised a return to “big, prestige first‑party games” as a core pillar of Xbox’s future. But we all know that the only reason is because Halo lost its way, and remaking the old games is a good way to put these games on PlayStation...
🚫 Forza Horizon 6 Pirate Banned for 8,000 Years In a completely unfair move, Microsoft has issued an 8,000‑year hardware ban to a player who played Forza Horizon 6 after the game leaked early on Steam. The ban covers the user’s Xbox account, console hardware ID, and associated services. Microsoft says it is taking “strict enforcement action” against anyone accessing or distributing the leaked build. More bans are expected as the company continues its investigation. Keep in mind, though, that Microsoft themselves leaked this by uploading the pre-load to Steam completely unencrypted...
🎮 Xbox Reveals 28 Games With ROG Ally Enhancements Xbox has published a list of 28 titles that now include optimisations specifically for the ROG Ally and ROG Ally X handhelds. Improvements include better power profiles, UI scaling, performance presets, and controller‑first navigation. Games like Starfield, Forza Horizon 5, and Sea of Thieves are among the updated titles. You love to see it!
🤖 Xbox No Longer Developing Copilot for Consoles Insider Gaming reported, and Asha confirmed it - Microsoft has halted development of Copilot for Xbox consoles! And there was much rejoicing! Despite earlier announcements suggesting it would arrive in 2026, the decision reportedly stems from performance limitations and unclear use‑case value on console UI. Copilot development will continue on Windows, mobile, and cloud‑based Xbox services. Microsoft has not commented publicly on whether console support may return later, but we hope not. Now if only the Windows team took notes...
