Rumours to reality.

It's a day when rumours became reality, at least as far as Microsoft is concerned.

Firstly, this morning's rumour that the company was going to remove the Xbox Live Gold paywall from its streaming Apps proved true come the afternoon. And in the same breath, it also confirmed the long-standing rumour that a Kinect-less Xbox One bundle would be released. We're hoping that before midnight hits we score a hat trick and get a confirmation that the Red Dead Redemption coming to PC rumour is true as well.

On the flip-side of long-gestating rumours, there's the sudden reveals - such as there being more Metro games in the works.

Then there's facts that just completely disappear from view (but luckily website caching is there to prove they existed in the first place) - as with the PS4 version of Watch Dogs losing its 1080p, 60fps claim from the title's product page.

But there's also good stuff that's confirmed, and happening in the immediate future; be it the tease of the upcoming Titanfall map pack, or the GTA Online Update that'll flag kill-hungry players to the rest of us.
