Online gaming one of the big winners of 2020

The Nintendo Switch was largely sold out during the summer and the holidays and the PlayStation 5 and X Box Series X sold out immediately. During the pandemic more people began to play video games and more started watching gamers, as livestream services like Amazon’s Twitch and Facebook Gaming logged record growth. Tech giants like Google and Amazon are still investing in cloud gaming services like Stadia and Luna, hoping to join into the console wars dominated by Sony and Nintendo. Google’s video platform YouTube logged its best year ever in 2020, with more than 100 billion hours in gaming content watched. An analyst at Nielsen’s Video Game Arm Super data said they don’t foresee anything sort of a gaming crash due to economic factors.

Genius or crazy? New gaming console claims it will keep your food warm while you play

In case you’ve always dreamed of having a warm snack nearby while you’re gaming, it sounds like that could become a reality. KFC has released a gaming console that claims it will also keep your food warm. And in case you didn’t notice, the console kind of represents a KFC bucket of chicken. But back to the gaming console. Or, perhaps the most improbable suggestion, does KFC see gaming as an actual business venture worth pursuing?

Here are some affordable gifts ideas for gamers

With kids and adults stuck indoors, gaming is moving to a new level of popularity. Even on a budget, if your loved one loves gaming, we have some gift ideas for you. Two of these brands have just released, new generations, the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5. PlayStation has tons of exclusive franchise titles whereas Xbox has more backwards compatibility, meaning players can still use old games on the new hardware. Gamers may be called “geeks” but they are always excited to talk about and share games.

Having trouble getting your hands on the Playstation 5 or XBOX Series X? This may be the reason why

With gift giving holidays just around the corner families all over country are looking to get the new Playstation 5 and XBOX Series X as the perfect gift... if they can find one. The Playstation 5 and XBOX Series X sold out almost immediately upon launch last week. Although analysts have predicted that the Playstation 5 will outsell the XBOX Series X over time... right now, the current console wars winner is whoever put more stock on shelves. There are also different theories for why the consoles sold so quickly. IDC’s research director of gaming says profit margins on the new PS5 and XBOX Series X are probably “thin or even outright in the red”.

'Esports is built on community’: St. Mary’s University hopes to create more diversity in competitive gaming program

SAN ANTONIO – Competitive video gaming, otherwise known as esports, is considered one of the fastest-growing sports globally. St. Mary’s University launched its Rattler esports program this year. Head coach of the program, Kaitlin Teniente, said Black and Latino students are often underrepresented because of lack of accessibility. However, the university hopes to bridge the divide by providing scholarships to future students who are people of color. “The idea is that these scholarships would help us, in turn, recruit that kind of student to bring them into the program,” Teniente said.

Virtual grand opening of St. Mary’s esports arena to fundraise scholarships for students of color

SAN ANTONIO – St. Mary’s University has announced that they will open its brand-new esports arena on Friday, Sept. 18 with a 12-hour fundraising livestream to raise money for future Black and Latino students in the Rattler esports program. “We are so excited to unveil this beautiful arena and to host an important event supporting the Black and Latino communities in the world of esports,” St. Mary’s University Director of Athletics Robert Coleman said. “Over the past year, we have been working with campus leadership to develop a space for our esports arena and to provide our students a home for gaming at St. Mary’s. All donations will go toward scholarships for future Black and Latino students. “At St. Mary’s, we hope to support and strengthen the diversity and representation that gaming needs so it can reach its full potential.”

Top ranked VFW in Texas turns to tech, gaming to bring in new generation of veterans

SAN ANTONIO VFW 8541 was recently ranked the best VFW in Texas and now the post is staying ahead of the game with a new shift towards technology.

A room at the VFW will soon be transformed into a high tech, high performance gaming facility and it is set to open on the fourth of July. LFG Cybercafe is a San Antonio video gaming facility, and Elizondo is working with the VFW on their plans. And the high tech facility also includes top tier internet access, something veterans may be lacking.

Xbox aims for another hit with Minecraft Dungeons launch

Fans of "Minecraft" may enjoy "Minecraft Dungeons," but it doesn't have the building and crafting element of the original title, so hardcore builders will likely skip the new game. Unlike "Minecraft," where you can build, mine and customize your surroundings, "Minecraft Dungeons" is focused on exploring dungeons and seeking adventure. This is something that can help families have a fun time together," said "Minecraft Dungeons" executive producer David Nisshagen. CNN Business played "Minecraft Dungeons" for several hours in a two-person party. Minecraft Dungeons is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One.
