Mauvaise nouvelle pour nous, malgré les rumeurs de plus en plus persistante Microsoft a aujourd'hui nié une quelconque participation avec Goldeneye. Microsoft Game Studio's a en effet déclarer :



Unfortunately, we were never contacted by the publication to confirm information or participate in the story in any way, as we would have confirmed that we do not have the necessary rights to release GoldenEye on Xbox Live Arcade. We do however share the gaming communities enthusiasm for the title and would love to release it on the service.
