🖥 PC, Multi-platformDisney CEO On Why Gaming Could Be The Company's Next Big Growth-Driver
The Walt Disney Company released its latest earnings report today(https://s206.q4cdn.com/979796730/files/docfinancials/2026/q2/q2-fy26-earnings.pdf), and included in the announcement was an update on the games business. In particular, Disney said it sees gaming as an area of growth, saying gaming is an area of the business that doesn't deliver "significant revenue" yet but is "strategically important" to the company overall as it looks to the future. CEO Josh D'Amaro said Disney's $1.5 billion investment into Epic Games and Fortnite speaks to Disney's eagerness to do more in gaming. "Interactive platforms are an increasingly relevant medium for younger audiences to engage with characters and stories, and our collaboration with Epic Games is central to our efforts in this space," he said. "Our characters are among the most popular across the Fortnite universe."

🎮 Multi-platformNintendo's Reason for No Discounts: It Ships "Complete" Games, Former President Says
Patience usually pays off when it comes to new games, as a few months after launch, a steep discount isn't uncommon. Nintendo is one of the few exceptions to that rule, as, apart from a rare sale(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/switch-digital-games-sale/1100-6539663/), prices for its first-party titles largely remain the same for years on end. Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé recently commented on this strategy, comparing the games to "Kyoto craftsmanship" that are designed to offer a complete and crafted experience from day one. "The Nintendo mentality is, we're shipping a game complete," Fils-Aimé said in an NYU Game Center lecture(https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2761065620). "It's ready to play. There's no day one update that's going to take three hours, and part of it is, it's a different mentality. That is their Nintendo's thinking. I liken this to the idea of Kyoto craftsmanship. The company is headquartered in Kyoto. A city known for its fine craftsmanship: linen, china, pottery, that is Kyoto. I'm convinced that Nintendo, as a company, has that same type of mentality. We are going to build the best games, we are going to send them out feature complete, and as a result--this is where sometimes customers push back--we don't discount our games." Fils-Aimé would then reference how The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild never received a permanent price discount from the day it launched. A quick look at the eShop listing(https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-switch/) for Breath of the Wild confirms this, as Nintendo is still selling it for $60 almost a decade after it first came out, and dozens of the company's other first-party games are still listed at their launch price.

🎮 Multi-platformStreamers And Voice Actors Refuse To Work With Popular New Gacha Game Over Gen AI Concerns
At first glance, Neverness to Everness(https://www.gamespot.com/games/nte-neverness-to-everness/) has everything that a gacha game(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/best-gacha-games/2900-7649/) fan wants and needs--cute character models, a supernatural open world, and even realistic cars to drive around in. However, just a few days after launch, some players have begun to spot assets suspected to have been created with generative AI. As a result, popular streamers and even a voice actor that worked on the game have started refusing to work with Neverness to Everness and its developer, Hotta Studio. In one video(https://x.com/hrlynicole/status/2050880908928983282?s=20), many are pointing out "artifacting"--unintended distortions that occur as a result of using AI to generate an asset. At one point, the character's entire outfit design appears to change after his hand blocks a portion of it. In another part(https://x.com/J0hnSemen/status/2050864217893507257?s=20) of the game, players claim that Neverness to Everness features a billboard with scenes from the anime Weathering With You that appear to have an AI filter over them or have been potentially fed into a generative AI tool to create the advertisement. A third observation(https://x.com/J0hnSemen/status/2051758165403078782?s=20) claims that there is "an 18-minute generative AI anime short film in the theater" in Neverness to Everness.

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformMicrosoft Copilot Will No Longer Come To Consoles, Says Xbox CEO
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/05/05/4efdaa27/copilot%20logo.jpg.webp) Copilot, Microsoft’s AI-powered assistant, has been a controversial feature for some, but it looks like it won’t be introduced to Xbox consoles anymore. Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma confirmed this pivot on X(https://x.com/ashashar/status/2051746410660593933?s=20) today, citing a need to “move faster, deepen our connection with the community, and address friction for both players and developers.” In her post, Sharma states Copilot is also being dropped from mobile while announcing a leadership shake-up. "We promoted leaders who helped build Xbox, while also bringing in new voices to help push us forward. This balance is important as we get the business back on track," writes Sharma. "As part of this shift, you’ll see us begin to retire features that don’t align with where we’re headed. We will begin winding down Copilot on mobile and will stop development of Copilot on console.” > Xbox needs to move faster, deepen our connection with the community, and address friction for both players and developers. > Today, we promoted leaders who helped build Xbox, while also bringing in new voices to help push us forward. This balance is important as we get the business… > > — Asha (@ashashar) May 5, 2026(https://twitter.com/ashashar/status/2051746410660593933?refsrc=twsrc%5Etfw) The response to this announcement has been positive, especially since some players worried that Sharma, who previously served as the president of Microsoft’s CoreAI product, would push for more AI integration in Xbox products. This move at least aligns with her previous statement addressing concerns about AI on Xbox, where she promised that “Games are and always will be art, crafted by humans, and created with the most innovative technology provided by us.” Sharma took over as Xbox CEO following the departures of former Xbox heads Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond in February(https://gameinformer.com/2026/02/20/phil-spencer-is-retiring-xbox-president-sarah-bond-is-leaving-and-microsofts-coreai-head), and has pledged a commitment to “the return of Xbox” and to understanding the Xbox ecosystem and audience despite having no prior experience working in video games. In March, she revealed more details about codename Project Helix(https://gameinformer.com/2026/03/05/new-xbox-ceo-asha-sharma-discusses-next-gen-console-codenamed-project-helix), the next Xbox console currently in development, stating it “will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games.”
