China should be smart and take advantage of this huge void left by America shooting itself with regards to the video games industry.

The HW and console will be fine since it has a NPU in it and serves to forward the AI vision for the company. I suspect the game developing and publishing side will be reduced as it's very risky and has no revenue growth future. Cod just missed targets by a billion or more.
Putting someone who is not a gamer to run a gaming company is much like Nike putting a dataminer instead of a shoe guy as CEO. RIP XBox.

Most of the good gaming CEOs started as non-gaming CEOs.
Xbox's success is dependent on Microsoft's mood / goal for the consumer side, and not really on the subsidiary's leadership.
Needless to say the goal for Microsoft was all AI the past few years and they fucked over their consumer side, so they're trying to fix it this year.
So Unreal Engine 6 just got announced. It's expected to release around 2028.
Some key notes from Google AI;
Key Features and Core Overhauls
- The Verse Programming Language: Epic is introducing as a primary, highly readable text-based language designed specifically for massive multiplayer setups. It will not instantly replace C++ or Blueprints, but will serve as the backbone for cross-project compatibility.
True CPU Multi-Threading: To address the common CPU bottlenecking and compilation "stuttering" issues frequently criticized in , UE6 will transition from a single-threaded simulation model to a robust multi-threaded architecture. This enables games to maximize modern multi-core processors.
Unification with Fortnite (UEFN): UE6 will officially merge the standard Unreal Engine with the . Developers will be able to code a game once and seamlessly deploy it either as a standalone title or directly into the Fortnite ecosystem, utilizing a shared economy and modular assets.
Massive Networking Scalability: The engine is introducing a revamped networking model capable of dynamically shifting players across data servers. The ultimate goal is to seamlessly coordinate concurrent simulations accommodating millions—and eventually up to a billion—players in a singular world.
AI Subsystems and Modular Physics: UE6 will incorporate a task graph that schedules AI behavior-trees and pathfinding in parallel. Generative AI integrations are also being prepared to aid in procedural world generation and fast content workflows.

So stuttering seems like it's gonna be fixed. I'm seeing a lot of effort being put into massive multiplayer. I'm guess MMOs in the next decade is going to be pretty big.

I heard it's supposed to be the last DLC to bridge the game with the upcoming Witcher 4.
