Microsoft sets up Xbox Labs to test AI game porting and modding
Microsoft is setting up Xbox Labs, a dedicated unit to study AI-powered game porting and modification technologies. The company plans to test techniques that run existing games on different devices or reconfigure them into new forms to expand accessibility and creative potential. The lab will also study decompiling and recompiling, as well as modding, and research AI agents that can write, run and verify code. Microsoft plans to share tools and results with outside developers.
