As Microsoft promotes, more and more games are becoming available on both Xbox and PC. Popular Xbox franchises like Halo, Gears of War, and Forza are often released on PC, and with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate including PC access, playing these games is incredibly easy. While PC gaming has been great, it hasn’t always matched the smooth experience of playing on an Xbox console. But a recent update to Windows 11 is aiming to change that.

Artificial intelligence has been part of video games for a while, but its applications are rapidly changing. Previously, AI was mostly used for creating non-player characters (NPCs) that followed pre-programmed instructions. Now, AI can potentially handle tasks like art creation, voiceovers, and even generate entire games. However, this increasing reliance on AI could lead to a loss of the human element, which is crucial for quality. Game developer Ubisoft is now exploring this potential with a new research project called Teammates.
The Embark team shared that they’re aiming to create a balanced PvP experience, hoping to reassure players who avoid fighting others because they’re worried about facing highly skilled opponents who always win.

But if you prefer to go in guns blazing and take a military approach, it’ll take longer because you need to spend time building up your army to deal with the enemies.
