This week, Xbox lead Phil Spencer took to the airwaves to drop a big hint about the next-gen Xbox console.
Speaking to Famitsu, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer said that the Xbox Ally handheld is a glimpse into the future of the Xbox platform.
The Xbox Ally is, indeed, a PC gaming handheld, and not a traditional Xbox console. Indeed, it cannot run Xbox console games, instead relying on a combination of cloud streaming, remote play, and dual-entitlement console PC games in the Xbox Play Anywhere program.
If you have any of the ASUS ROG handheld gaming PCs, whether that be the new Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X or older ROG Ally and ROG Ally X, there’s a chance that you aren’t getting the best playing experience out of your gaming device.

There has been something of a renaissance for transparent technology in the last few years, and I love it. Some of the most iconic gaming hardware from the 1990s and early 2000s boasted colorful, translucent shells, and that approach to design has been returning with products like the Razer Phantom Green Collection I tried out.
Now, Razer is returning with its second Phantom family, this time dropping the saturation in honor of the spookiest season of the year. This is the Razer Phantom White…

Yes, it is! Like previous titles in the Sega-published franchise, Football Manager 26 will be on Xbox Game Pass, and on day one.
Both console and PC will be supported, and both versions of the game — the regular one and the console edition — will be on Game Pass.
The console version can also be played on PC, the game is mostly the same, but the UI is optimized for controllers, so it’ll be the better version for the Xbox Ally and other handheld gaming PCs.

Microsoft has formally unveiled Mico, its new face for Copilot. Mico is an expressive avatar that will appear when you interact with Copilot using your voice, taking the form of an abstract blob that floats around the screen and can change shape, emote, and react to conversations as you’re having them.
Microsoft says the name Mico was chosen in reference to Microsoft Copilot, and is an optional interface that you don’t have to use if you find it too distracting. “This optional visual presence listens,…

As generative AI becomes more advanced and helps scale greater heights across a wide range of fields, including medicine, computing, entertainment, and more, it’s increasingly becoming difficult to tell when/if top AI labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google will unlock AGI (artificial general intelligence).
This is especially true after a report suggested that these labs may not be able to develop advanced AI models after hitting a scaling wall due to a lack of high-quality content for training. As you…
