Google is set to launch the Gemini update for Android Auto, enhancing hands-free functionality for drivers. The update will feature different experiences based on vehicle compatibility, with around 250 million cars supporting Android Auto and about 50 models equipped with Google built-in. Gemini allows for voice control independent of an Android smartphone, enabling tasks like adjusting climate settings through natural language commands. Vehicles with Google built-in will have access to the Google Play Store and integrated car manuals. Gemini will also include offline capabilities and streamline trip planning via voice commands. Most features will be available across all vehicles with Android Auto, with a rollout expected in the coming months.

What’s driving growth in the Chinese video game industry?

The Chinese game industry has experienced significant growth, with popular titles like Genshin Impact and Black Myth: Wukong driving global interest. Black Myth: Wukong sold 10 million copies within a week of its August 2024 launch and won Game of the Year at the 2024 Steam Awards. The single-player game market in China is becoming more sustainable, with a shift in focus due to the success of titles like Black Myth: Wukong. Developers are adapting their strategies, although challenges such as high production costs, competition, and issues related to work culture persist. Local governments are actively supporting game development through licensing, tax breaks, and grants, with initiatives aimed at integrating cultural themes into games. Despite layoffs in the industry, a robust social safety net exists to support affected employees.

ChatGPT’s Image Generator Is Now in Microsoft Copilot. Here’s What You Can Do With It

Microsoft has upgraded its Copilot AI assistant by integrating OpenAI's GPT-4o model, enhancing its image generation capabilities within Microsoft 365 applications like Word, Excel, and Outlook. Users can now create intricate visuals by describing their desired images. Copilot can draft documents, analyze data, create presentations, manage emails, and now generate high-quality, photorealistic images from text prompts. This feature allows for the creation and modification of custom graphics without external design software. The GPT-4o image generation capabilities were initially rolled out to enterprise users and are now available to the general public. This enhancement positions Microsoft Copilot ahead of other creative tools that use older DALL-E models, aiming to compete with industry leaders like OpenAI and Google Gemini.

The RTX 5060 is cheap, but can it game? We played 5 titles to find out

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5060 is set to release on May 19 with a starting price of 9. It features 8GB of video memory, which may be insufficient for demanding games like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle that require at least 12GB of VRAM. Preliminary testing at 1080p showed the RTX 5060 Ti performing well in five titles, often meeting or exceeding Nvidia's performance claims, particularly within optimized conditions for Nvidia GPUs. The card benefits from DLSS 4, enabling impressive frame rates even at 1440p, with frame rates exceeding 200 FPS in demanding scenarios. Texture pool sizes during tests were around 1.5GB, indicating effective use of neural rendering techniques. However, Cyberpunk 2077's benchmarking tool did not accurately reflect performance due to pre-release drivers. Users may face challenges with DLSS override settings in the Nvidia app, requiring manual adjustments for optimal performance. Despite these hurdles, the RTX 5060 shows promise for a smooth gaming experience, though concerns about the adequacy of its 8GB VRAM remain.

Take-Two CEO reckons Civilization 7’s mixed reception is just history repeating itself: ‘Every time we’ve come out with a new platform iteration of Civilization, there’s been some consternation on the part of consumers’

Civilization 7 has received a divided response from players, with its Steam rating showing a near-even split. As of three months post-launch, only 48% of Steam reviewers rated the game positively, reflecting a modest increase of 4% since its release. The game ranks as the 8th best-selling game of 2025 in the United States, but its player count is significantly lower than previous entries, with approximately 9,537 concurrent players compared to 43,307 for Civilization 6 and 15,981 for Civilization 5. Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, acknowledged the game's launch challenges and noted that varied opinions are common in the franchise's history. Robert Zak, a reviewer, highlighted the game's streamlined and accessible nature but mentioned that some players may miss the depth of earlier titles.
