When they say lawyers and recruiters we have to understand there will still be lawyers and recruiters but the vast majority of the heavy lifting will be done by AI powered systems. There will be a profound impact on industries without destroying them completely.

Virtuos' seemingly prematurely uploaded images of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake ahead of its announcement, and if real, it looks rather fantastic.

What does Microsoft need to do to get Windows ready for handhelds? Are the changes going to add enough value to tempt console players towards PC handheld gaming?

Games going multiplatform isnt enough to make me give up on Xbox just yet! There are so many compelling reasons to stay with the platform.

Why I’m Sticking with Xbox in the Next Generation
Some fans feel uncertain about whether Xbox will remain a compelling choice in the next generation, but for me, the decision to stay within the ecosystem is clear.

Nice to see this FUD debunked. A Steam console would be interesting but as I said yesterday the margins on hardware are so thin that I cant see it makes business sense. Steamdeck works because you can sell it to PC gamers. It is not trying to replace their current rigs!
Thank you... we've done pre-release Mesa Vulkan work on every AMD architecture since Vega thanks to them kindly providing hardware, so there's nothing meaningful to read into there.
Sorry but no Valve are not working on an AMD RDNA4 Steam Console despite rumours

Xbox is still growing. Reports of its demise have been greatly exaggerated

Xbox Game Pass continues to drive growth
According to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, the service saw over a 30% increase in PC subscribers, a significant achievement in what many thought was a plateaued market

I'm not sure I ever completed Half Life 2. I have memories of getting quite a long way in to it but I'm really not sure I finished it. Time for another playthrough to find out

Time to reload MCC on PC. 343/Halostudios need more recognition for the game preservation they have achieved with the Master Chief Collection.

Star Wars is a mess. They need someone with a vision to recognise that this universe is a sandbox of elements which can be used to tell any story they want. If I had to bet id say at least one of these projects will never see the light of day. #Starwars
