Celebrating 20 years of Xbox is a full and detailed history of the original Xbox. The Kickstarter project already had a first limited run and now it’s back for second print run. There are more than 360 pages detailing the timeline of every game released on the original Xbox, and contributions from “Founding Father of Xbox” Ed Fries, Xbox community members, and even a section on Xbox Live from yours truly. You can back the Kickstarter project right here.

Microsoft-owned GitHub is launching its Copilot Enterprise subscription today, designed to allow developers to work with businesses’ own internal code.

Corsair is taking on Lian-Li and NZXT with some new dual chamber PC cases. The 6500 series include a front panel that can be customized with different finishes, and the ability to swap between glass and airflow. These cases are even compatible with the reverse connector motherboards that are starting to hit the market, so you can have a pretty PC with less cables showing.

Microsoft partnered with Mistral AI yesterday in an investment worth €15 million ($16.3 million). Now EU regulators are looking to analyze the deal, according to Bloomberg. There’s no formal investigation yet, but both the UK and EU are already examining Microsoft’s more than $10 billion investment into OpenAI. The Mistral AI deal will see the company’s open and commercial language models available on Microsoft’s Azure AI platform.

Pentiment, previously an Xbox-exclusive game from Microsoft-owned Obsidian Entertainment, launched on PS5 last week running at 120fps. The Xbox version of the game is locked to 60fps, leading to a weird situation where a PS5 version of an Xbox game actually runs better than the Xbox version — even though it’s a 2D game. Thankfully it’s just a bug, so a 120fps mode is coming to Pentiment on Xbox “in the next patch.”
