Microsoft if in Brussels today and held a brief conference to announce a 10-year deal to bring Xbox games to Nintendo consoles, and a 10-year deal to bring their games to Nvidia's Geforce now. This Xbox News comes after a behind closed doors meeting with the EU Commission about the Microsoft Activision Blizzard purchase and getting the deal to go through with regulators. They have a contract ready to be signed by Sony today and both Jim Ryan and Bobby Kotick were in attendance. Here's what you need to know.

Previously: The Microsoft Activision deal is in jeopardy after Sony PlayStation has lobbied to regulators about the damage they claim it could cause, and now Xbox is demanding that PlayStation show proof of said harm. Sony have done their best to get out of providing documentation to their competitor, but in huge Xbox news today, Microsoft has put PlayStation on blast claiming that a large amount of the concerns brought up by regulators are directly tied to metrics Sony may now need to provide.

Previously: Xbox has sent PlayStation a subpoena to appear in court and provide sensitive documents for the FTC case against Microsoft's Activision Blizzard purchase. This is huge Xbox news today and PlayStation news today because it means we could see some sensitive documents that PlayStation Jim Ryan would need to provide to the FTC in order to prove his comments. The Jim Ryan Call of Duty statements have been scathing and now it could result in the Activision Blizzard Microsoft case leaking some sensitive information about PlayStation. This PS news today is very interesting as Xbox subpoena PlayStation to appear in this case and Sony is trying to get out of it.
