We had a whole lot of rumors about Microsoft bringing their games and services to Nintendo Switch last week. That’s a Very Big Deal™ if it does end up happening. It scores a win for Microsoft, who get to propagate their services further, and it scores a win for Nintendo, who get to sell their hardware further.

March marks a change for Sony's PlayStation Plus service. Instead of giving away 4 games, spanning the PS4, PS3 and PS Vita, Sony is now only giving away two. Each month Sony will give subscribers two games on PS4, but PS3 and PS Vita games are no longer one of the perks. In and of itself, this isn't such a big deal, but it does underscore one thing that Microsoft is doing so well.

The clearest indication yet that this console generation is winding down came last year when Sony revealed it would not be in attendance at E3 2019. This will mark the first time Sony has ever missed the show, and while that might put a damper on the excitement level for many gamers, it also creates an opening for Microsoft and Nintendo to steal the spotlight. And based on a new report, Microsoft will be taking full advantage of that opportunity.

New Windows 10 builds are using Xbox's infrastructure for Windows games.

A new firmware update has rolled out to Xbox Alpha Skip Ahead rings this week that introduces yet another great new feature to Microsoft’s family of Xbox One consoles. This time it’s the introduction of Dolby Atmos audio ‘upmixing’ for people using home theater systems. In other words, processing that can turn non-Dolby Atmos sound (from games or movies) into Dolby Atmos. Or, at least, something close to it.

Microsoft’s Xbox One family of consoles has enjoyed a host of great improvements in the years following the original console’s underwhelming launch. And this spirit of innovation is showing no signs of slowing down, as it’s now emerged that Xbox One owners will soon be able to have their gaming enhanced by DTS:X sound. Rumors that this feature might be inbound have been circulating for some time within the Xbox Insider community, but it was confirmed today in a tweet by Steven Wilssens, one of Microsoft’s lead audio team.

The latest NPD video game hardware sales in the United States have started to trickle in for December 2018. Obviously it was an extremely busy month for the three console manufacturers during the Christmas period and it was the Nintendo Switch which came in first. The Nintendo Switch was followed by the Xbox One console and then Sony’s PlayStation 4.

Microsoft is set to debut a new Xbox Insider build for select Xbox One owners, packing a refined on-screen keyboard. Rolling out to Skip Ahead and Alpha rings of the test program, the addition falls under the console's next planned feature update, internally codenamed "19H1." While details on the Xbox One's next OS refresh are limited, today's release focuses on a revamped virtual keyboard. Dubbed the "Mini Keyboard," its redesign aims to condense occupied screen space, paired with adaptive positioning.

What a year it’s been for Xbox. Microsoft had started the year trailing badly in the great Console Wars of this generation; while it was broadly accepted that the company’s recently-released Xbox One X was a superb bit of kit, its potential remained untapped as 2017 slipped into 2018. Meanwhile, the Xbox was in dire need of some worthy exclusives to rival Sony’s console.

Getting trolled on social media is not a new thing and it might look like you’re inviting it if you buy your rival’s technology for your personal use. Xbox Spain Community Manager was the latest victim of social media backlash. Her mistake? She decided to post a picture of Overwatch on Twitter but the game was for Playstation 4. While Playstation 4 is a really good console, it doesn’t help if you’re Xbox Community Manager.

To celebrate the release of Battlefield V, Microsoft and Electronic Arts partnered to give a Florida veteran a limited-edition Xbox One X bundle, delivered via an outrageous skydiving stunt. Motorsport driver and stunt performer Travis Pastrana of Nitro Circus dove from a height of 13,000 feet to deliver the first Xbox One X Gold Rush Special Edition Battlefield V bundle to retired Navy Corpsman Jeff Bartrom, who lives in Paisley, Florida. Pastrana hit a peak speed of 140 mph during the dive, and the jump took less than 55 seconds.

Although there are several Xbox 360 emulators for PC, the best of all is Xenia Xbox 360 emulator.

It came as a mild surprise when Microsoft announced Saturday that it was purchasing not just one but two mid-sized studios with a focus on role-playing games. But as strange as it seems on the surface, the deal makes perfect sense for all three parties. At the end of a relatively uneventful Xbox showcase in Mexico City on Saturday afternoon, head of Microsoft Studios Matt Booty announced that his company planned to buy Obsidian (Fallout New Vegas) and Inxile (Wasteland). The former we already knew about—Kotaku broke the news last month—but the latter seemed odd.

With the next generation of gaming consoles on the horizon, Microsoft Studios has been gobbling up high-profile developers, and it's continuing that trend today with the acquisition of Fallout: New Vegas studio Obsidian Entertainment and Wasteland 2 company inXile Entertainment.

As part of a big Xbox update, Microsoft just released the Xbox Skill for Cortana and Alexa which allows you to navigate your Xbox One console using your voice and a Cortana or Amazon Alexa-enabled device, such as the Echo Dot. To celebrate the announcement, Amazon is offering discounted bundles of the Xbox One and Echo Dot hardware so you can get started using the feature right away.
