The Next-Gen Xbox Could Be a PC in Console Clothing

Rumors suggest Microsoft's next-gen Xbox will blur the line between console and PC, potentially coming as a family of devices powered by an AMD Magnus APU (Zen 6 + RDNA 4) and offered through multiple OEMs. It could support PC launchers like Steam and GOG, allow mods, retro emulators, and a broad range of peripherals, and run Xbox One/Series titles while embracing Windows-like usability. The plan aims to deliver more hardware and software choice (and possibly price options around $1,000) beyond traditional console constraints, signaling a shift toward PC-style flexibility across form factors.

Google bids farewell to yet another product after 10 years.

Google is set to discontinue the Google Now Launcher this month, according to code found by 9to5Google. The launcher was previously used for the Nexus line of phones and was available for other brands. However, it was pulled from the Play Store in 2018 and declared incompatible with almost every Android device. The Pixel Launcher has since taken over as the home screen experience for Google phones, and there are now many other launcher options available. Users of the Google Now Launcher will need to switch to a different launcher before it stops working in April.
