Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella on the state of Xbox:

"We've invested a lot for the last 25 years. We have to turn this into a sustainable business. The challenge we have is, we've not been monetizing that entertainment. In fact, we've been subsidizing that entertainment."

🚨 ÚLTIMA HORA: El movimiento corporativo más drástico en la historia de Xbox está sobre la mesa.

Microsoft no descarta reestructurar toda la división de gaming para aislarla e incluso facilitar una posible venta.

Según fuentes directas de The Information (el medio financiero y tecnológico más fiable del sector), Satya Nadella y la directora financiera Amy Hood están evaluando tres escenarios reales para el futuro de la marca:

1⃣ Convertir Xbox en una subsidiaria totalmente independiente (el mismo modelo operativo que usan con LinkedIn o GitHub).

2⃣ Crear una Joint Venture (empresa conjunta) con socios externos.

3⃣ Escindir la unidad por completo del ecosistema de Microsoft.

A corto plazo, el plan de emergencia liderado por Asha Sharma es inyectar un presupuesto masivo a partir de julio para acelerar como sea el desarrollo de tres pilares: Fallout, Elder Scrolls y Halo.

Que la cúpula ejecutiva de Microsoft esté debatiendo internamente cómo separar a Xbox del núcleo central de la empresa confirma un cambio de paradigma brutal

La era del talonario infinito para acaparar el mercado ha terminado; ahora el objetivo de Xbox es demostrar que puede ser un negocio rentable por sí mismo, o soltarán amarras.

New reports suggest Valve’s next VR headset, known as Steam Frame, could be nearing launch.

XR analyst Brad Lynch says Valve’s U.S. warehouses recently started receiving shipments listed as “Virtual Reality Devices.” Since Valve has no other known VR hardware in development, he believes these shipments are for Steam Frame.

Lynch noted that similar shipment activity preceded the Steam Controller announcement

Valve has confirmed that Steam Frame and Steam Machine are planned for release this summer and has expanded the Steam Verified program to support the new devices.

STEAM FRAME UPDATE

The first Steam Frame shipments are arriving in Valve’s USA warehouses!

Steam Controller had this happen April 4, and was announced April 27. We could get an announcement for Steam Frame (and maybe Steam Machine) by the end of June!

Steam’s June 10th beta update is small, but if you use Remote Play, Linux, or Steam’s overlay. Possibly another indicator or a Steam Machine/Frame release sometime soon.

• Steam Client Beta updated on June 10 at 21:14 EST
• Linux PipeWire session logic was improved
• If Steam has persistent capture permissions, PipeWire should only stay active while streaming or recording
• Remote Play added a 100 Mbit/s bandwidth option
• Unlimited bandwidth can now adapt up to 250 Mbit/s when connecting to the latest Steam beta
• In-game overlay fix for a beta regression that caused a small number of games to crash on startup
• This is not a flashy update, but it is a useful one for Steam Deck/Linux users and Remote Play users

Better PipeWire behavior on Linux means Steam should stop holding capture sessions open when it does not need to, the Remote Play bandwidth bump is wonderful if you stream locally and want better quality.

@adiix_official @gerardsans So instead of just doing what is supposedly working so well you instead run on social media and spend countless hours advertising your junk explaining/selling your snake oil bs? It doesn’t compute scammer.
