Rapper and songwriter Travis Scott will debut a brand new track on Fortnite, with in-game concerts that are expected to draw massive numbers of players.

The Astronomical event will run from April 23 to April 25 and is inspired by the creations of Cactus Jack, which is the record label founded by Scott in 2017.

There are five showtimes to allow Fortnite players around the world to participate:

  • April 23, 7 p.m. ET
  • April 24, 10 a.m. ET
  • April 25, midnight ET
  • April 25, 11 a.m. ET
  • April 25, 6 p.m. ET

“Doors open” 30 minutes before each show, so players should come in early to secure their spot. Once capacity is reached, players will need to catch the next time slot.

Posters for Astronomical have started appearing in the game, with a UFO that looks to be made entirely out of speakers flying in the sky. Epic Games has not yet confirmed where the shows will be held, but players have spotted a stage under construction on an island near Sweaty Sands.

Scott is also the newest addition to Fortnite‘s Icon Series, allowing players to secure his skins and other cosmetics in the game’s Item Shop starting April 21. The game will also roll out a set of Astronomical challenges, with rewards that include a new Travis Scott spray, profile picture, and emote.

Scott’s Astronomical follows the arrival of Marvel’s anti-hero Deadpool in Fortnite and previous in-game concerts by artists Marshmello and Chance the Rapper.

I played Star Wars: Galactic Racer at Gamescom, and this is way more chaotic than I expected

The first few minutes with Star Wars: Galactic Racer at Gamescom had me thinking I was playing a very pretty, very modern take on Wipeout. Then the race properly kicked off, and the Burnout DNA came roaring through.

That makes perfect sense, considering Fuse Games was founded by former Criterion developers. But knowing that on paper and actually feeling it while racing are two very different things. This is an arcade racer that really doesn't want you to sit back and admire the scenery. You're boosting, dodging, ramming rivals, dealing with power-ups and trying to pick the right racing line, all while the track throws hazards and shortcuts at you. It's loud, chaotic and, occasionally, wonderfully messy.

NVIDIA G-SYNC Pulsar is proof that gaming monitors don’t just need more Hz

There is something slightly ridiculous about the gaming-monitor arms race. We now have displays pushing 500Hz, 560Hz, and even 720Hz, with esports gamers understandably chasing every last millisecond. The problem? The faster you go, the more you're often asked to compromise on resolution.

NVIDIA G-SYNC Pulsar takes a very different approach. I got to see it in action at Gamescom, and after watching NVIDIA switch the technology on and off in front of me, I came away thinking that perhaps the industry has been asking the wrong question.

Apple is apparently readying Beats-branded game controllers for the iPhone
The controllers have reportedly been in development for more than a year and could take on popular third-party iPhone accessories.

The year 2026 is proving to be the one when Apple's product portfolio expands dramatically. Apple has already launched its first foldable phone and an uber-affordable laptop so far. Later this year, the company is expected to launch an overhauled MacBook with a touchscreen and plenty of other changes, followed by new smart home devices. It seems the company is also eyeing the gaming segment pretty keenly.

According to Bloomberg, which cites data gleaned from Apple's code, the company is planning to launch two game controllers. But instead of the Apple branding, these would hit the shelves carrying the Beats logo, which has so far been reserved predominantly for audio gear.
