Microsoft wants to hear from game developers that might be skipping Xbox, or those already building games using the company’s developer tools. The software maker is expanding its Xbox Research team to include the community of game developers,

It's no big secret that certain developers have faced struggles with the Xbox ecosystem in recent times. The biggest example is Baldur's Gate 3, which was delayed on Xbox because of the Series S console's inability to competently run the game in split-screen mode.

In addition to adding Outlook, the Home & Business version also is licensed to allow the apps to be used for commercial purposes, Microsoft says. The company says Office 2024 is compatible with Windows 10 and 11 and the last three versions of MacOS.

Microsoft has given itself a seemingly impossible race against time. With almost exactly a year to run before Windows 10’s unpopular end-of-life hits users in October 2025, Windows 11 is still failing to hook the hundreds of millions more users it needs to prevent a generational support nightmare coming true.

Microsoft just released Office 2024 for Mac and PC. This software is available for those who don't like paying subscriptions. Is it worth it?
