It’s Sunday, and that means it's time to talk about all the gaming news this week
By: Evan1Sonic. This week has been a steady week of news, with Discord coming to Xbox, Star Wars: Hunters and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora being delayed, some new game release dates, and more.
Discord is coming to Xbox consoles. Discord voice chat is coming to Xbox platforms, announced in a new Xbox Wire post earlier this week. Thanks to this feature, players will be able to make calls or join voice channels with anyone directly from their consoles. It's not clear if this Discord version will allow you to message other users or view servers. Although neither company has made any official announcements, we can still hold out hope that Discord will eventually be made available on PlayStation and Nintendo platforms. This much-desired feature is already in development. According to the Xbox Wire article, Discord Voice Chat will start rolling out to Xbox Insiders today and will be available soon for everyone else on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
Mario Strikers: Battle Leagues new update. Earlier this week, the game’s first free update was released. This update brings two new characters, some gear, and a new arena. Princess Daisy can endure knockdowns when she enters the match. Shy Guy, a superb all-arounder, also joins the rooster with this update. The new Knight gear you can equip will improve your strength and shooting. Last but not least, the Desert Ruin arena contains three configurations and may be configured as your club stadium or used in quick matches. This first update for Mario Strikers: Battle League is out now on Switch.
