Mar. 6, 2018

There’s a lot to cover today – Microsoft is kicking off a new web series from Xbox in the vein of Nintendo Direct; AMD has announced a killer new Radeon update if you are a Final Fantasy XV fan, and finally, Fortnite,the game of the hour, has set out some new rules for gamers. That’s just some of the biggest news from today, so let’s get started.

Tina Summerford, director of programming at Xbox, hasannounced“Inside Xbox”,a new web-seriesset to premiere this week on Saturday, March 10th at 12:00 p.m. PT. The idea is to produce and release a new episode of the web series on a monthly basis for platforms like YouTube, Twitch, Mixer, and Facebook.

The show will give audiencesan inside look the world of the Xbox development teamand what they’re working on. It would featureannouncements and trailer premieres, news about Xbox Game Pass, and new console features, as well as various interviews and exclusive looks at various games. Additionally, it will also havea segment dedicated to videos and feedback from the Xbox Live community.

Despite being of a battle royale nature,many players in Fortnite are exploiting the game’s Solo mode by teaming up against individuals.However, in a recent conversation with PCGamesN, a spokesperson for Epic Games representing Fortnite has stated thatthe company will now ban such players.

Players having fair, fun games is a top priority for us. Teaming in Solo is against the rules and will result in Epic Games taking action on accounts that participate in that behavior. The studio will continue to monitor games for players who break rules and play unfairly in all game modes.

While the studio has declared its intentions to keep looking into such situations,it also urges fans to help out by reporting against such playersusingthis online form.
