We will long remember this Tuesday when Xbox made headlines due to numerous leaked confidential documentswhich had been presented to the FTC as part of the repurchase ofActivision Blizzard King. On this subject, the fault is not to be attributed to the Federal Trade Commissionthe culprit being… Microsoft. Yes, as reported The VergeJustice Jacqueline Scott Corley said the court ordered the FTC and the Redmond firm to provide it with a secure link in the cloud towards the elements of the trial, which was done on September 14, except that classified details appeared there as you now know… These elements will have to be resubmitted by September 22 and both parties will have to file a written certification stating that only public information is contained therein. Well, now that the whole planet is aware, there is no longer much risk anyway. Phil Spencer for his part reacted, trying to save face with his statement.
We’ve seen the conversation around old emails and documents. It is hard to see our team’s work shared in this way because so much has changed and there’s so much to be excited about right now, and in the future. We will share the real plans when we are ready.

He therefore affirms that the plans have changed as the other would say, which is obviously a possibility, especially concerning the next-gen. We will see in due time.

Likewise, he sent an internal memo which doesn’t really say more, reported by The Verge :
Team,
Today, several documents submitted as part of the legal proceedings relating to our proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard were unintentionally disclosed. I know it’s disappointing, although many documents are more than a year old and our plans have evolved.
I also know that we all take the confidentiality of our projects and our partners’ information very seriously. This leak obviously does not allow us to meet this expectation. We will learn from what happened and improve in the future. We all put incredible passion and energy into our work, and this is never how we want that hard work to be shared with the community. That said, there are so many more reasons to be excited, and when we are ready, we will share the real plans with our players.
In conclusion, I appreciate all the work you put into the Xbox team to surprise and delight our players. In the days and weeks ahead, let’s stay focused on what we can control: continuing the incredible success of Starfield, the upcoming launch of the incredible and accessible Forza Motorsport, and continuing to create games, services and devices which millions of players will be able to enjoy.
Phil
