Recent concerns suggest that some AI labs might struggle to create more powerful AI because they’re running out of the high-quality data needed for training. This is also causing scrutiny of Microsoft’s large investment in OpenAI, particularly as OpenAI shifts towards becoming a for-profit company.
To generate excitement before its release, reviews for the upcoming Xbox game, The Outer Worlds 2, are now available. Critics have been given access to the game and are sharing their opinions with the public.
Square Enix has released a new trailer to build excitement for the HD-2D remake bundle, offering a first look at how the classic stories of Dragon Quest I and II have been updated for today’s players.
In addition to a previously exclusive game now being available and a major new expansion, Kepler Interactive is also releasing Pacific Drive on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate today.
I’ve recently had the chance to test out the Razer Raiju V3 Pro, and it’s impressive. This new controller from Razer is their most advanced yet, working great with both PlayStation 5 and PCs.
There’s a secret assistant hidden inside Mico – a much more famous and powerful one. If you tap Mico repeatedly, it transforms into… CLIPPY.
Copilot Actions in Edge work alongside the new Copilot Actions for Windows, letting Microsoft’s AI directly handle tasks for you within a webpage or the browser. Instead of just telling you *how* to do something – like booking a flight and hotel or posting a comment – Copilot will actually *do* it for you.
Microsoft has introduced Mico, a visual companion designed to work with Copilot. It’s completely optional – you don’t have to use it if you prefer – and is meant to make voice interactions feel more natural and engaging. Mico responds to your voice, changes colors based on the conversation, and uses animations and expressions to provide a friendly experience.
Meanwhile, the creators of Palworld, Pocketpair – who are currently facing a lawsuit from Nintendo – are doing things differently. They’ve announced they won’t use AI at all in their new publishing arm. This is a notable move, especially as companies like Microsoft invest heavily in AI and automation becomes increasingly common in the gaming industry.
The Outer Worlds 2 is a role-playing game designed for a single player experience. It’s created by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Xbox Game Studios.
