Recently discovered by data miners, Xbox Cloud Gaming has a new preview page at play.xbox.com. Microsoft is using this to test what’s coming next for the service.

The Xbox Cloud Gaming service previously had a web-based interface, but the new design now closely matches what you see on the Xbox console itself, which will feel comfortable for existing players. Importantly, the updated design is also more user-friendly for those new to Xbox and cloud gaming.

Capcom has improved the game with several updates, but problems for PC players remain and have actually worsened. Recently, a bug in the system that checks for downloadable content is causing noticeable drops in framerate, a problem Capcom acknowledges.

As an analyst, I’ve been following some fascinating trends in game modding. Recently, before its official release, modders managed to get Doom running *within* Hytale – pretty impressive! This reminded me of something similar that happened in 2025, where a modder actually built a fully functional PC running Windows 95 *inside* Minecraft. And, naturally, the first game they booted up on that virtual system was, you guessed it, Doom. It’s a recurring theme, apparently!

We can learn a few key things from the data, as highlighted in the following post by Mat Piscatella from Circana.

These days, it’s getting harder to distinguish between what’s genuine and what’s not. To help with this, Microsoft has introduced a new feature in Teams calls designed to detect potential fraud.

A large collection of usernames and passwords from users worldwide was publicly available online. The leaked data primarily consists of email credentials, with over 48 million Gmail accounts and 1.5 million Outlook accounts compromised. Additionally, more than 6 million accounts from Yahoo, iCloud, and university (.edu) email addresses were also exposed.

It’s still unclear if Windows 11’s market share will continue to decline, as it’s only decreased for the past two months. However, those recent drops have been substantial.

I’ve always had good experiences with Corsair, so I was disappointed with this headset. It’s comfortable and sounds great, but a few frustrating design choices and a problem with one specific game kept it from being an easy recommendation.

While this versatile system has been refined over many years, it’s not without its drawbacks. This is becoming increasingly clear in PC gaming, as the simpler, Linux-based SteamOS becomes more popular.
