There’s a stereotype out there of gamers being a bunch of unkempt basement dwellers engaged to their anime waifu pillows, but nothing could be further from the truth in this day and age.

One of the more interesting things that AMD showed off during its keynote late last night was a shiny new render of the Xbox Series X. It was more detailed than anything we’d seen before – but it made sense for AMD to be showing it off.

Yesterday, PlayerUknown’s Battlegrounds on mobile received a sizeable update, bringing it to version 0.50. The game was released to mobile platforms in March this year – and even on release, performed better than the Xbox One version of the game. Now, it’s pulling ahead in features.
