SoundCloud has acquired the remnants of shuttered blockchain platform Nina Protocol, preserving its editorial archive and genre map while offering artists an opt-in migration path and free subscriptions. The deal highlights persistent challenges in artist-centric Web3 models and SoundCloud's continued focus on independent creators.
Microsoft launched official backward compatibility for original Xbox games on PC today, starting with Blinx, Conker, Crimson Skies, and Fuzion Frenzy. Enhanced visuals, cross-device play, and Game Pass access mark a major expansion of preservation efforts first teased at GDC 2026. The move fulfills long-standing fan requests while supporting the upcoming Project Helix platform.
