Google has designed Workspace so that disabling Gemini also blocks existing convenience features such as Gmail inbox prioritisation and spelling checks, prompting criticism that it unfairly restricts user choice to expand AI adoption.

Epic Games is developing an extraction shooter using Disney intellectual property, and it could be unveiled as early as November, a report said. Engadget said it is seen internally as the most promising of three Disney-related projects at Epic. The game is described as similar to Arc Raiders, with players gathering resources and escaping, but featuring Disney characters fighting enemies. It is unclear whether it will be standalone or a Fortnite mode.
