Yet another detail about the next-gen Xbox console has apparently emerged, as Windows Central reports that Microsoft staff are testing a new Gaming AI feature currently running on their Ally X units dubbed "Highlight Reels."

The feature will seemingly allow you to seamlessly edit a sizzle reel of your most memorable moments in a game. According to Windows Central's sources, "Highlight Reels" are all automatically captured "without leaving gameplay," suggesting you won't need to go to a separate editor to create and post gameplay highlights.

"The Highlight Reels feature allows players to automatically capture memorable gaming moments without any additional downloads, and without leaving gameplay," the source said of Highlight Reels. "This will launch in the next few months on the Xbox Ally X handheld."

Blue Prince Creator Worked 80 Hours A Week For Eight Years, And He Won't Do It Again

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 02:43

Blue Prince was one of 2025's best games, and making it took a toll on its creator. Tonda Ros said in an interview that he was working about 80 hours per week for eight straight years to get the puzzle game out the door. Unsurprisingly, he doesn't plan to do that again.

"I was working, I think, 80 hours a week for eight years straight," he told Aftermath. He went on to say he does not plan to put himself through the same struggle for whatever he makes next.

"It was an incredibly long journey, so it might take as much time [to make my next game], but I certainly won't be working as hard. ... That's just not sustainable now. It's a young man's game," he said.

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 02:00

With every new Magic: The Gathering expansion comes new card designs, new alternate art variants, and new strategies to enhance your latest deck builds. Not every set, however, offers a whole new way to play the 30-year-old card game, as the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion is bucking that trend with Turtle Team-Up, a co-op experience for up to four players and the first co-op MTG product since 2017.

Bethesda's Todd Howard Says He Is "Sort Of Anti-Remake"

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 01:46

Bethesda's Todd Howard has come out to say he is "sort of anti-remake" and prefers remasters, like 2025's popular The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.

"I'm sort of anti-remake. I respect the other ones out there, but I really think the age of a game is part of what it is and its personality and what it represented when it came out," he told Kinda Funny.

Howard said the ambition with Oblivion Remastered was to make "the absolute best version" of the game. "It was important to us that the original game was running, so imagine you had patched that game many, many, many times for many years, what would you have done?" he said, as reported by GamesRadar.

Sony Santa Monica's Next Game Will Be Announced This Summer, Says God Of War Actor

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 01:27

To kick off the 20th anniversary of God of War, Sony announced a remake of the first God of War trilogy with original Kratos actor TC Carson reprising his role. That doesn't necessarily mean Kratos' current actor, Christopher Judge, is out of the picture. According to recent remarks by Judge, Sony Santa Monica--the studio behind God of War (2018) and God of War: Ragnarok--will be revealing its next game this summer.

During Fan Expo Vancouver, Judge told YouTube streamer Fuzhpuzy that he's not involved with the God of War trilogy remake, but he seemed to indicate that he is in Sony Santa Monica's upcoming title.

"You'll be hearing about what we're doing probably in late summer," said Judge. He also indicated that the God of War trilogy will have a new fighting system rather than a recreation of the one used by the PS2 and PS3 games of that era.

Todd Howard Says AI Is "Certainly Not A Fad," But Bethesda Isn't Using It For Creative Generation

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 01:24

Is AI being used by The Elder Scrolls 6 developer Bethesda Game Studios? Yes, but maybe not in the way you think. Todd Howard chatted about the divisive topic on the Kinda Funny Gamescast, noting that AI is "certainly not a fad." That said, the Starfield and Fallout 4 game director expressed that Bethesda is "being incredibly cautious" and isn't utilizing it at all for creative generation, like making quests or producing art.

Spotted by GamesRadar, Howard discussed how AI is constantly changing and Bethesda sees "it as a tool, like an analyst [to] look at the data in our games." Howard noted this analytical side is where the studio is seeing the upside with AI as "it can help us get better at some big data tasks that just take us a lot of time." That, in turn, lets them get "onto the creative stuff," according to Howard. Once again, he believes in "handcrafted human intention," something he touched upon before in December.

Howard talked about more than just AI on the podcast. He stated that The Elder Scrolls 6 will return to a classic Bethesda RPG style, as Fallout 76 and Starfield were like a "creative detour" for the studio. It was also reconfirmed that Creation Engine 3 will power The Elder Scrolls 6. Creation Engine 2 was behind Starfield, for reference. Speaking of which, Howard tempered some of the expectations behind Starfield 2.0.
