According to Microsoft, artificial intelligence would be trained to track interactions between games and gaming platforms such as Xbox Live. These “interactions” would include notifications of achievements, game scores reported to the platform, and/or a player rank achieved on the platform based upon game activities. If something abnormal is spotted, the data would be analyzed for possible cheating behaviors.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

great! can't effing stand cheaters.........
That's actually a really smart use of AI. Hmm, I wonder if the next gen consoles will have some kind of system-wide AI.
This is terrible.
The AI will first begin to detect cheaters and then it will grow, learn, become sentient and realize that all humans are cheaters. This is when it will decide that all humans must be dealt with.
Thus the rise of the robots and the end of human civilization.
Why M$? Why?
Yeah that wont lead to problems..
Is cheating that big of problem on Xbox?
I mean, the normal situations can not be fixed because they have to do more with advantages like a xim connector with a modded keyboard and mouse giving a player anit flinch and shooting control with aim assist etc. or modded controller.
Lag switching can happen I guess..
But by the description, it sounds like it is looking at achievements and gamer scores. Things that can effect rewards etc more than player v player situations.
