An XML file in the Windows 10 version of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition has been discovered and it appears to make references to quite a few games from Microsoft Studios. While most of the titles are references to games that Microsoft has already released on previous version of Windows and Xbox consoles, there are also references to upcoming titles such as ScaleBound, ReCore and Quantum Break.
One such reference is titled Microsoft.Opus.PG. The PG reference is also found on a reference for Forza Motorsport 6: Apex and may stand for PlayGround Games, the developers behind Forza Horizon.
Many of the games listed come from Microsoft’s line of casual games for Windows. My guess is that these titles are being updated for Windows 10 and will be playable on Xbox One when the Redstone update arrives in June.
Intriguingly, there is a reference to Project Knoxville from Press Play Games as well as other titles attributed to the same studio such as Project Flair, Project Fortune and Project Mercury. There are also some unknown titles such as a beta for TJ Combo Boxing, Hogan Threshold and Lucille.
Here is the complete list found within the XML file.
