In a surprise reveal, Microsoft said Thursday it plans to launch a mobile gaming store later this year. The news came out

M icrosoft has been talking about plans for an Xbox mobile gaming store for a couple of years now, and the company now plans to launch it in July. Speaking at the Bloomberg Technology Summit earlier today, Xbox president Sarah Bond revealed the launch date and how Microsoft is going to avoid Apple’s strict App Store rules.

An Xbox mobile store is on the way in July 2024, per Xbox president Sarah Bond. The store will be available on the internet instead of as an app.

Google's CEO clapped back at Satya Nadella's comments about making Google dance with the "new Bing." Sundar Pichai said one of the ways you can go wrong is by listening to someone else's music. Pichai said competition is normal in tech and he has a clear sense of what Google needs to do.

Pichai said AI was Google's focus since 2016, when ChatGPT-maker OpenAI was still in infancy. Google may have missed the chatbot moment but Pichai doesn’t seem worried.

Pichai emphasized the importance of remaining focused on their own strategies rather than reacting to competitors.
