Ubisoft

Ubisoft is giving XDefiant a big push for its full release. Not only is this a completely free shooter with full cross-platform support, but the team is dishing out free rewards for anyone who tunes in to Twitch streams of the game over the next six weeks. That’s a lot of potential rewards, but you need to know what streams to tune into and how you can claim those drops. We’ll also give you a rundown of each reward you can get week by week to make sure you don’t miss out on your next favorite gun skin.

How to redeem XDefiant Twitch drops

Starting at 9 a.m. PT on May 21, Ubisoft will begin hosting the first XDefiant stream called the All-Star Series. After this initial stream, rewards will be given out each week on any XDefiant stream you decide to watch.

You can earn three rewards every week for the first six weeks of XDefiant‘s launch. The first unlocks after watching for 30 minutes, the second after 1 hour, and the final reward for 1 hour and 30 minutes of total watch time that week. To redeem the rewards, you need to first make sure your Twitch account is linked to your Ubisoft account.

After earning a drop, it will appear in your Twitch inventory, so all you need to do is open it up and claim it to send it over to your XDefiant account.

Note that you do not need to watch that entire duration of time in a single stream. As long as your total XDefiant watch time on Twitch hits any of the three thresholds before the week is up, you can earn the corresponding drop.

Sega’s Virtua Fighter Crossroads is coming to Nvidia’s wild new RTX Spark PCs
Virtua Fighter Crossroads will help showcase gaming on Nvidia’s new RTX Spark platform
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Nvidia’s new RTX Spark platform has landed one of its first major games. Sega has confirmed that Virtua Fighter Crossroads will run on RTX Spark-powered laptops and compact desktop PCs when the game arrives in 2027. More Sega titles are also heading to the platform, although neither company has named them yet.

The announcement also marks more than 30 years of collaboration between Nvidia and Sega, a relationship that began when Nvidia’s NV1 graphics chip helped bring the original Virtua Fighter to PC. Sega later helped keep the young chipmaker alive by turning a $5 million payment into an investment when Nvidia was close to running out of money.

TCL has spent years saying inkjet-printed OLED could improve image quality, efficiency, lifespan, and manufacturing costs. Back in 2024, the company was still showing prototype laptop panels and promising a “comprehensive breakthrough” once the technology was ready for commercial products.

Two years later, it has finally arrived in a gaming laptop. Lenovo’s new Legion R9000P uses a 16-inch panel that TCL CSOT describes as the world’s first inkjet-printed OLED display integrated into a laptop.
