Microsoft is now introducing a special edition Xbox Series X25 in conjunction with the console brand's 25th anniversary. Here's a quick overview of what it brings to the table

In what seems like a step in the right direction, Microsoft recently announced 7 new AI models of their own that have been trained on clean data. These are MAI Image-2.5, MAI Image-2.5-Flash, MAI Transcribe-1.5, MAI Thinking-1, MAI Voice-2, MAI Voice-2-Flash and MAI Code-1-Flash. Most LLMs (Large Language Models) are trained using public data which are usually not paid for. 

The latest Microsoft laptops were announced earlier today, adding new models to the Surface Laptop and Surface Pro series. In particular, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 8 promises much better performance, a long battery life, and other new features.

According to The Verge, Microsoft has officially started using “XBOX” in all caps for its gaming brand after a recent fan poll by Xbox executive Asha Sharma. The change first appeared on the brand’s official X account on 15 May 2026, where most voters chose the all-caps version over the traditional “Xbox” styling. That said, what should you know about it?

Microsoft has officially scrapped development of its Xbox Copilot AI, marking a significant shift in its gaming strategy under new leadership. The decision was confirmed by Asha Sharma, who has been leading a broader restructuring of the Xbox division since taking over earlier this year.

Things are getting more interesting in the AI master race. Recently, OpenAI and Microsoft ended their exclusive collaboration agreement that was signed in 2023. So, what should you know about it?

Microsoft is reportedly reassessing its subscription strategy after a leaked internal memo revealed concerns over the current pricing of Xbox Game Pass. According to the report, Xbox’s new Gaming Chief Asha Sharma acknowledged that the service has “become too expensive for players,” signalling potential changes to how Game Pass is structured and priced moving forward.

According to Copilot’s official terms of use, updated last October, Microsoft states that Copilot's Terms of Use (updated last October) state that Copilot is "for entertainment purposes only" and should not be relied upon to provide advice. It is used at your own risk.

Last Friday, Microsoft announced it will invest USD10 billion (~RM40 billion) in Japan over the next four years to build artificial intelligence (AI) data centres and related infrastructure. So, what should you know about it?
