G1 Playground - независимая студия разработки игр, известная благодаря своему проекту Zelter. Zelter - это зомби-шутер с элементами выживания и крафтинга, получивший положительные отзывы за свой уникальный стиль и геймплей. Компания, вероятно, небольшая, сфокусированная на разработке нишевых инди-игр. Информация о её истории и масштабе деятельности ограничена, но судя по наличию всего одной известной игры, можно предположить, что студия относительно молодая и находится в процессе развития.

Он помог выпустить Project Gotham Racing на оригинальной Xbox в 2001 году и руководил созданием серии Forza, основал Turn 10 Studios и много раз появлялся на нашей сцене во время E3 (зачастую эффектно, вместе с суперкаром) — за это и многое другое мы бесконечно признательны Дэну.

To anyone listening closely to what Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has been saying over the past couple of years, this week felt like the clearest sign yet that AI is about to fundamentally change the size of Microsoft’s workforce. Microsoft is now offering voluntary buyouts to around 60,000 employees across the US, UK, Canada, and India. Microsoft now employs around 223,000 people as of June 30th, 5,000 fewer than the 228,000 people it employed in 2025. Xbox hardware and content and services were also down, but a whole third of Microsoft’s revenue came from Azure ($33.17 billion of the $92.3 billion).

The ambitious life-simulation game InZoi was once heralded as a potential "Sims-killer"--a promising new title that fans of the genre could turn to following EA's relentless pursuit to monetize every aspect of The Sims 4. However, a lackluster early-access period and concerns over the game's liberal use of AI made for a rocky start. Over the past year and a half, developer Krafton has addressed some of the complaints leveled at the game, but now, it finds itself in hot water for a different reason. Earlier today, the official InZoi X account shared a post depicting a balding man in a leather coat watching children play on a playground alongside the caption, "Just a peaceful day at the playground.

A playground in Mississauga, Canada, has drawn attention online as it has a sign advertising a mobile game, with many questioning why the advert exists. Playing outside with friends means making your own fun. You can come with your own games, dabble in things like hide-and-seek, sports, or head over to a playground to use their swings and slides. However, over in Mississauga Valley, Canada, one playground has sparked confusion online as it advertises a set of mobile games rather than encouraging kids to jump on the swing or slide down, well, a slide.

Asha Sharma announces Xbox Labs project to "explore new technology," which sure sounds like tinkering with old games through AI I'm tired, readers As part of Microsoft's ongoing, physics-ignoring push to do more business with thousands fewer staff, games chief Asha Sharma has announced Xbox Labs: a new umbrella for Xbox's R&D into the kind of game remixing and rejigging most visibly characterised by viralities like Halo for browsers, or Mario in Elden Ring. Both enabled, perhaps tellingly, by the AI-driven decompilation of the original source codes. This might not be entirely what Xbox Labs is all about, and Microsoft have clarified to our smarter-dressed cousins at GI.biz that AI usage won't be mandatory (as it's reportedly becoming for Epic Games development). Xbox's campaign of redundancy carpet bombing has repeatedly been justified as part of an effort to refocus on 'core' franchises, hence Obsidian being put to work on a new Fallout while Playground Games and Turn 10 have been merged, at the cost of the Forza Motorsport sim racing series, to zero in on the more popular Forza Horizon.
