Hello! I’m Matt, one of the co-founders of Mixer and engineering lead on the platform at Microsoft. Huge welcome to all of you new visitors who are checking out Mixer today for the very first time. We think we have something pretty special here, and are excited to share.
An inside look at Assassin's Creed Shadows, Ubisoft's ambitious open world Japan where your every move is affected by weather, season, and lighting systems.
Assassin's Creed Shadows digital storefront pages are up, and it confirms the game will require an internet connection, and MTX.
Avatar only had an online requirement to install the disc version, not to play.
This AC really does have Online Play Required marked on it.
One thing that's messed up about this, is there will be people playing pirated versions of this without that restriction, while the paying customers will suffer. Just like how some games will have lower performance on PC due to DRM, while pirated copies don't.
Anyone that wants to say something like "Who doesn't have internet access in this day and age?" There's plenty reasons people won't always have access, such as living in rural areas with spotty coverage, for example.
Three single-player games in a row they've done this with now. Those f***ers weren't kidding when they said gamers need to be comfortable with not owning their games. As a physical collector, and somebody who enjoys Ubisoft's open worlds, this is a nightmare scenario for me. Absolute scumbag company.
Starfield’s latest update is here and it’s bringing several new features with it!
Cool stuff here
The new features sound really good.
"Xbox E3 will be streamed in 4K on there"

I guess I'll be watching on Beam then.
I'm waiting for the announcement that Mixer will allow for remote play like Sony has for the PS4. It only seems logical that realtime streaming which allows other players to interact with the broadcaster could be used in this way too.
So Mixer, formerly Beam, is Microsoft's attempt to compete with Twitch? I mean, Twitch is king when it comes to streaming. Very few people seem to use Youtube Gaming in comparison to Twitch. It'll be interesting to see if this really takes off.
