Tech and Gaming World Sees Shifts in Google Case, Xbox Timeline, and Adobe Animate's Fate
The tech and gaming landscape saw several key developments this week, including an appeal in the Google antitrust case, hints about the next-generation Xbox release, and a reversal of plans for Adobe Animate.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a cross-appeal in the antitrust case against Google on Tuesday, according to a post on X by the DOJ Antitrust Division. This follows Google's own appeal filed last month, according to The Verge. The case revolves around allegations of Google's search monopoly.
In gaming news, AMD hinted that Microsoft's next-generation Xbox console could launch in 2027. AMD CEO Lisa Su stated that the development of Microsoft's next-gen Xbox, featuring an AMD semi-custom SoC, is progressing well to support a launch in 2027, according to The Verge. Microsoft confirmed last year that it is working on a next-gen Xbox console in partnership with AMD, according to The Verge.
Adobe reversed its decision to discontinue Adobe Animate, according to The Verge. The company now states in an FAQ that Animate will be in maintenance mode and that it has no plans to discontinue or remove access to the app. Animate will still receive ongoing security and bug fixes and will still be available for both new and existing users, but it won't get new features, according to The Verge.
In other news, right-wing YouTuber Nick Shirley is reportedly attempting to replicate his Minnesota stunt in San Diego, according to The Verge.
