Microsoft Reportedly Cancels Xbox Cloud Gaming Controller

The New York Times reports Microsoft scrapped plans for an Xbox controller "devoted to cloud gaming." Microsoft denied the cancellation was tied to the regulatory review of its $75.4 billion Activision Blizzard deal but gave no other reason.

• Microsoft denies the controller was dropped due to the Activision Blizzard review
• The $75.4 billion deal included cloud-gaming concessions to the UK CMA
• Microsoft will soon cap cloud gaming time and charge more to keep playing
• The cloud gaming app for older Samsung TVs will shut down soon
