Xbox 2027? OpenAI Deal Vanishes! Plus, Titan Threatens & Switch 2 Delay.

Tech Industry Buzz: Next-Gen Consoles, AI Deals, and Entertainment Updates

The tech and entertainment industries saw a flurry of activity this week, ranging from potential console release timelines to streaming deals and entertainment updates.

AMD hinted that Microsoft could launch its next-generation Xbox console as early as 2027. According to The Verge, AMD CEO Lisa Su stated that development of Microsoft's next-gen Xbox, featuring a custom AMD system-on-a-chip (SoC), is progressing well to support a launch in 2027. Microsoft confirmed last year that it was working on a next-gen Xbox console in partnership with AMD.

In other news, a potential $100 billion deal between Nvidia and OpenAI appears to have stalled. Ars Technica reported that Nvidia and OpenAI announced a letter of intent in September 2025 for Nvidia to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI's AI infrastructure. However, five months later, the deal has not been finalized. Nvidia's CEO now says the $100 billion figure was never a commitment. Reuters reported that OpenAI has been seeking alternatives to Nvidia chips since last year, citing dissatisfaction with the speed of some Nvidia chips for inference tasks, according to eight sources familiar with the matter. Inference is the process by which a trained AI model generates responses.

Meanwhile, in the gaming world, development of the Nintendo Switch 2 version of "Borderlands 4" is on hold. A Take-Two spokesperson, Alan Lewis, told Variety, "We made the difficult decision to pause development on that SKU. Our focus continues to be delivering quality post-launch content for players on the ongoing improvements." The game had already been delayed from a planned October 2025 release date, according to The Verge.

For fans of the MonsterVerse, Apple TV released a full trailer for the second season of "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters," revealing a new Titan threat. Ars Technica reported that the trailer showcases a gigantic tentacled undersea being dubbed Titan X, which only Kong and Godzilla can stop. The first season picked up where 2014's "Godzilla" left off, specifically the introduction of Project Monarch.

Finally, for those looking to upgrade their streaming experience, Wired highlighted discounts on Roku streaming devices ahead of the Super Bowl. The Roku Streaming Stick 4K, a top pick, is currently marked down on Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.

Vercel's rebuilt v0 platform, drawing from multiple reports, addresses the gap between AI-powered prototyping and production deployment by importing existing repositories, enforcing security, and enabling collaboration on code rather than just documentation. The updated platform aims to solve the "shadow IT problem" of AI-generated software by providing a governed environment for non-engineers to ship production code directly to Vercel deployments.
