Microsoft is planning to release a mid-generation refresh for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S incredibly soon, according to highly confidential documents that the company accidentally leaked.
The European Commission had cleared the deal in May after Microsoft agreed to license popular Activision games such as "Call of Duty" to rival game-streaming platforms.
It had said in July, just minutes after the U.S. regulator failed in its own effort to stop the takeover in court, that it was willing to look again at the case when Microsoft returned with a "detailed and complex" proposal. On Tuesday it said it would stick to its original decision to block it.
EU antitrust regulators said in response they would now look at whether the new terms would affect the concessions they had already agreed with the U.S. company.
