Xbox Boss Wants Fans to Get Used to PlayStation Ports
Microsoft's Phil Spencer has appeared in a new set of interviews, reiterating in no uncertain terms that Xbox games will continue get PlayStation ports whether fans like it or not. Microsoft continues to face criticism for dropping exclusives in favor of multiplatform releases, in response to which Spencer has stressed that Xbox's brand identity has 'evolved.'
When journalist Destin Legarie asked Spencer if he can confirm that Starfield will remain an Xbox exclusive for the time being, the executive responded with a solid, 'No.' Spencer added that he doesn't see the need to gatekeep Xbox Game Studios titles because 'business success' matters.
In a separate interview with GamerTag Radio, Spencer said that Microsoft isn't giving up on its hardware, but that doesn't mean that the company wants to 'put walls up' around its content and studios.
'Whether it's cloud, whether it's PC, whether it's handheld, whether it's phone, whether it's PlayStation, even Nintendo,' Spencer continued. 'Expect our games to show up in more and more places.'
According to latest rumors, Gears of War and Halo games are also in the works for PS5. Sounds surreal but expect the PS6 to launch with Xbox titles.

Microsoft is prepping an AI Copilot for the Pentagon
Microsoft is preparing a version of its Copilot AI tool for the Pentagon. "For DoD environments, Microsoft 365 Copilot is expected to become available no earlier than summer 2025," the company stated in a recent blog written for government customers. "Work is ongoing to ensure the offering meets the necessary security and compliance standards." Copilot is Microsoft's main generative AI offering. The company has developed several Copilot tools, which tap into AI models to automate various tasks and support human employees. The Copilot for Microsoft's 365 service works across productivity software such as PowerPoint slides, Excel spreadsheets, and Word documents. Microsoft has invested heavily to build these new offerings, but it's still trying to figure out the best way to make money from them. If the Pentagon signs up for a Copilot service, that would be a major win for the tech giant. In a recent meeting, Microsoft Chief Commercial Officer Judson Althoff told employees that a customer with more than 1 million Microsoft 365 licenses will be adding Copilot, according to people who attended. Althoff did not disclose the customer and Microsoft declined to comment, but there are likely only a few customers with workforces big enough to justify adding more than 1 million Copilot seats. The Defense Department is one such customer. It is one of the largest employers in the US, with a military workforce of about 2.1 million service members and about 770,000 civilian employees, according to a 2023 report by the Government Accountability Office. The Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment. Microsoft has publicly stated plans to add Copilot to versions of its Microsoft 365 suite of applications for high-security government customers this year. Microsoft's website currently states that Microsoft 365 Copilot is not available via "GCC-High," its high security cloud platform for US government personnel. However, in a March 31 update, the company said it plans to add Copilot to these environments as soon as this summer. "For organizations in GCC High, Microsoft 365 Copilot remains in development to meet security and compliance requirements," the company explained. "We are planning on a general availability (GA) release this calendar year."

OpenAI CEO Charts Path to Singularity
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)-backed OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says we've already crossed the event horizon toward digital superintelligence, with AI takeoff well underway. Altman opened up in a recent blog post, noting that 2025 brought AI agents capable of real cognitive tasksthink writing flawless codeand that 2026 will usher in systems uncovering novel insights on their own. By 2027, he predicts everyday robots will tackle real-world chores, and the 2030s will look nothing like today. What's driving this surge is a flywheel of compounding infrastructure: datacenters that largely build themselves, robots that assemble other robots, all powered by increasingly cheap compute until the cost of intelligence approaches the price of electricity. He admits this rapid shift will wipe out entire job classesno sugarcoating therebut argues the economic boom it sparks will bankroll policy innovations we can't yet imagine. Altman's optimism is rooted in OpenAI's recent wins with ChatGPT and agentic AI, which already automates research and codingand in partnerships and hardware improvements that lean on minimal human babysitting. While the singularity raises thorny questions around ethics, regulation and workforce displacement, Altman believes human ingenuity and emerging governance frameworks can steer us through. Why It Matters: With a clear singularity roadmap, investors and regulators get a rare peek at when AI might outthink its creatorsand must prepare for transformative economic and social upheaval. Investors will be monitoring OpenAI's upcoming tech demos, policy white papers and any new enterprise deals as early signals that superintelligent AI is shifting from science fiction to boardroom reality.
