   Xbox Is Getting Into AI Gaming, Even If It Won't Say So

   Xbox is creating Xbox Labs, a new initiative led by CTO Scott Van Vliet and a small team to turn emerging ideas into experiences for consumers and developers, with a focus on getting more people playing games, especially in web browsers. CEO Asha Sharma pointed to games being rapidly decompiled and rebuilt to run on hardware they were never designed for, noting WebGPU is now approaching 90% global browser support. The announcement makes no mention of AI at all.

   Microsoft forms Xbox Labs, led by former Azure for OpenAI head Scott Van Vliet

   Microsoft announced Xbox Labs, a new initiative led by Xbox CTO Scott Van Vliet, who previously led Azure for OpenAI at Microsoft. The news came in a staff message from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma published on Xbox Wire, which never mentions AI or generative AI and instead frames Labs as exploring games being decompiled and rebuilt for hardware they were not designed for. Sharma said Labs is a small group of game makers, engineers and scientists that will build in the open and measure success by whether more people are playing and creating.
