March 7, 2022

For the longest time, gamers have been broken down into camps. You have PC gamers, Xbox gamers, PlayStation gamers, and Nintendo gamers (not to mention a few smaller camps). But when it came down to it, gaming was all about the hardware.

I think that’s going to change. I am all in on cloud gaming and believe it will change the face of gaming as we know it. And the thing that convinced me? The Xbox. If you are wondering how, check out the top story.

• Spotify’s Android app finally got a feature we’ve wanted forever.
• Oh man, this EV tease from Jeep has us saying, “tell me more, please.”
• …and more!
