MLG App Available On Xbox One In Time For Weekend Championship
Major League Gaming (MLG) released the MLG app for Xbox One today. The App will allow Xbox One users to watch the entirety of this weekend’s MLG tournament live via MLG.tv.
Xbox users who download the app will also have access to MLG.tv’s other programming, including news show “eSports Report.”
The MLG Championship will take place in Anaheim, CA from June 20-22. Pro gamers will compete for $150,000 of prize money in an International League playoff. Games to be played include Call of Duty: Ghosts, StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and for the first time ever Killer Instinct and Injustice: Gods Among Us.
The Championship starts this Friday at 2:30pm PT and will be streaming live all weekend. Check out MLG’s official website for a full schedule of the weekend’s events.
Our Take
This is something a lot of MLG fans have been asking for for awhile, so it's nice to see it happening right before a big event. It's also cool to that MLG is committed to bringing its content to gaming systems and shows that it seems to understand its audience well. Hopefully MLG will keep making their services available in as many ways as possible.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
