At TwitchCon Europe, company CEO Emmett Shear laid out the company’s plan to “grow their audience on Twitch, connect with them, and thrive with more ways to earn a living doing what they love.” In addition to rebuilding search capabilities and a new Recaps feature, the company noted that this season of Twitch Rivals will feature over 120 events with new genres, formats, interactive extensions, and millions of dollars in prize money.
FOX Sports locked in US television and streaming rights to the finals of multiple EA Sports FIFA19 Global Series events, anchored by the season-ending FIFA eWorld Cup 2019 where coverage continues this weekend with the first-ever FIFA eNations Cup from London. In addition, Caffeine, a social broadcasting platform for live gaming, esports and sports, has secured global streaming rights to all events. All rounds stream live on Caffeine’s dedicated EA Sports FIFA esports channel.Additionally, U.S. viewers on Caffeine are able to live-host their own streams of the tournament to watch with friends and fellow fans.
Caffeine continues to reel in content deals, this time announcing a media partnership with DreamHack that will see all DreamHack CS:GO and Dota 2 events streamed live in addition to the launch of a new DreamHack-dedicated show Overtime that will run on Caffeine throughout the year. The new series debuts live from the DreamHack Open Rio 2019 from April 19-21, and include coverage of CORSAIR DreamHack Masters in Dallas, Texas (June 2019) and Malmö, Sweden (October 2019); as well as and DreamHack Open events in Atlanta, Georgia (November 2019), Tours, France (May 2019), Summer and Winter (Jönköping, Sweden), Rotterdam, Netherlands (October 2019) and Sevilla, Spain (December 2019).

In total, DreamHack will broadcast 10 DreamHack pro tournaments of CS:GO and DOTA 2 live.
SPORT1 also inked a partnership with DreamHack that will see, this year, five premium events of CS:GO an Rocket League shown live on pay-TV channel eSPORTS1. The new collaboration includes platform-neutral and TV-exclusive media rights for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland to DreamHack Masters in Dallas and Malmö (CS:GO), as well as DreamHack Pro Circuit Events in Dallas, Valencia, and Montreal (Rocket League).
Riot Games gave its logo an overhaul, updating a staple that rose from its founding 12 years ago, separating the first from the word “Riot.” In the announcement, the company noted that “It’s easy to forget what life was like in 2006… As technology changed and we began playing in new environments, it became clear that the logo we used for so long and had grown so fond of needed a rework.”
Trail Blazers star Meyers Leonard announced his investment into FaZe Clan, posting that “FaZe has taken the gaming world by storm, helping grow some of the largest gamers and content creators of our time. I make it a point not to invest in something unless I am incredibly passionate about it and I believe I can authentically impact the business. This investment into FaZe Clan not only represents a belief in the organization, but a belief in the long-term potential of #gamingand #esports. What better way to announce this investment than through the highest visibility platform that I have? My sneakers during a televised NBA game. I’m always looking for innovating ways to cut through the noise.”
This week’s Inside Xbox event saw Microsoft reveal the digital-only version of the system, officially titled the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition and set to hit stores on May 7. The console includes a 1TB hard drive, supporting 4K Ultra HD Video and HDR, but does not include the physical disc drive and cannot play physical games, which means it will cost $50 less than the standard Xbox One S and come preloaded with Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, and Forza Horizon 3.
Meanwhile, Sony started revealing details of its next generation of PlayStation, with lead system architect Mark Cerny telling Wired that the company has boosted distribution of dev kits to studios so they can work towards it. One of the big advances in the hardware seems to indicate the introduction of a solid-state drive designed to work with the system to give faster results.
