Sega has launched in Japan its new tiny handheld gaming console with built-in classic games, the Sega Game Gear Micro. The tiny console was released in celebration of the upcoming 30th anniversary of the original Game Gear, which launched in Japan on October 6, 1990. It measures 80mm wide, 43mm high, and 20mm thick, and is less than 40% of the size of the original Game Gear. Microsoft is testing a new feature in its Xbox app on Windows 11 that makes it easier for PC gamers to install and launch third-party apps and even rival game stores. The move is part of Microsoft’s bigger plan to blend the best of Windows and Xbox for gaming PCs, making the Xbox app the central hub for both games and gaming-related apps. This update builds on Microsoft’s earlier work to combine multiple game platforms into the Xbox app. This move echoes Nintendo Switch Online’s offerings and underscores Microsoft’s commitment to game preservation and backward compatibility. And for those hungry for even more, Antstream Arcade—Microsoft’s streaming partner—has an exclusive offer: Game Pass members can subscribe to Antstream’s full 1,300-game library for $9.99 for one year if they sign up before June 4.
