Virgin Gaming Brings Tournament Play To Xbox Live
Your mother might have told you that you can't make any money playing video games, but Virgin is doing its best to prove her wrong. This week, Virgin Gaming has released a new Xbox Tournaments app featuring free and buy-in competitions.
To kick off the new campaign, players can compete for a chance at a share of $100,000. By playing FIFA 13, Madden NFL 13, NHL 13, and NBA 2K13, gamers can challenge friends and random opponents. The higher up on the leader board you land, the more money you'll earn.
Starting in May 2013, Virgin will be updating their service with premium tournaments. More titles beyond the initial four sports offerings will join the program once things begin to ramp up. To get started, visit the Virgin Gaming Xbox Tournaments portal and sign up. Finding the app on the dashboard was a bit tricky, so a search via the Bing tab (it's that one you don't often use) is probably the way to go.
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.
