Is Playground making a Fable?
Rumors continue to suggest that Playground Games is working on a Fable reboot. Playground is best known for producing the Forza Horizon games with Turn 10 Studios. But now Microsoft fully owns the company, and it paid to open a second Playground Games studio that is working on an open-world adventure.

Whether this is Fable or not doesn't really matter to me. Even if it is, I expect it to act as a clean reboot. What matters to me is Playground Games. That studio has continually crushed the Forza Horizon games, and I'm ready to see the studio take on an open-world on foot.

In addition to acquiring existing studios, Microsoft also started a new team in Santa Monica called The Initiative. The company built this studio specifically to bring in talent to create marquee games with massive budgets.

As for what The Initiative is working on, the rumors claim it's a Perfect Dark reboot. And I hope that's true. I love the idea of Microsoft digging into its weird backlog of properties and finding unique ways to update them for modern audiences.

Double Fine is sprucing up Psychonauts 2 with all of its Microsoft money. InXile is doing the same thing for Wasteland 3, which releases August 28. But InXile is also working on a bigger-budget game in the Unreal 5 engine.

NEXT-GEN GAME UPGRADES SHOULD BE FREE, XBOX TELLS DEVELOPERS

Xbox has told developers that they cannot charge players to upgrade their current-gen games to Xbox Series X versions as DLC, as an alternative to its free Smart Delivery scheme.

NEXT-GEN GAME UPGRADES SHOULD BE FREE, XBOX TELLS DEVELOPERS

However, developers and publishers who choose not to support Smart Delivery can still offer owners of current-gen games a discount on purchasing a second next-gen version of the game on the Microsoft Store. Theoretically, third-party publishers could also charge for physical game upgrades via their own schemes, such as via retailer promotions.

So far all games publicly announced as offering a next-gen upgrade, including FIFA 21, Cyberpunk 2077, Destiny 2 and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, are doing so free-of-charge.

However, it's understood Microsoft wants to give publishers and developers a multitude of options for how to sell their games across Xbox One and Xbox Series X, even if they don't adopt its recommended policies.

Xbox's Smart Delivery initiative allows consumers to purchase a supported cross-gen game once, on either Xbox One or Xbox Series X, and unlock the other generation version at no additional cost.


This enables players to, for example, purchase Halo Infinite for Xbox One this holiday, then if they decide to purchase an Xbox Series X console at a later date, the fully optimized version of Infinite will unlock at no additional cost.

This is separate from Xbox Series X backwards compatibility, which will allow the next-gen console to run legacy Xbox One games with some performance benefits, but won't offer the same experience as the version built specifically for next-gen hardware, including features such as ray-tracing.

While all first-party Xbox Game Studios titles will support Smart Delivery, third parties can choose whether to support it or not.

Cross-gen games that do not support Smart Delivery will be treated separately within the Xbox ecosystem, VGC was told, with only certain Xbox Live elements - such as multiplayer - unifying the generational versions. For example, both NBA 2K21 and FIFA 21, which operate outside of the Smart Delivery ecosystem, do not share certain save data across generations.

In comparison, Smart Delivery games will share a single SKU, all Xbox Live elements - including saves, achievements and more - and launch the correct versions for each console regardless of which generation's game disc is inserted.
