BDS, a pro-Palestinian human rights movement focused on pressuring Israel to comply with international law by promoting boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the country and its economic partners, added Microsoft and Xbox to its list of targets on April 7. “Microsoft partners with the apartheid regime of Israel and its prison system,” the Palestinian BDS National Committee’s official statement explains. “It provides the Israeli military with Azure cloud and AI...
You’ll need to “hire a supply or medic specialist” as part of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2’s Week 7 weekly quests. Doing so will reward you with a whopping 30,000 XP, so you might as well pick up one of these NPCs if you’re nearby to get that. Below, we explain where to find supply and medic specialist NPCs for hire in Fortnite. Where to find a supply or medic...
The C button is one of the Switch 2’s most talked-about features. First, it was because of the secrecy about what it does. Then, after the tell-all Direct showcase, where some of us were slightly deflated to learn its actual purpose (which is to initiate GameChat in any game, and GameShare with select titles), the discourse then shifted from curiosity to concern. It’s going to be a subscription-gated button after...
The Mask Workshop is a secret hideout located underneath Masked Meadows in Fortnite. The Mask Workshop, previously named Daigo’s Underground Hidden Workshop in Chapter 6 Season 1, is a location that appears frequently in story and found quests across Chapter 6. Getting there can be a little tricky because, well, it’s a secret hideout and an easy-to-spot hideout wouldn’t be a hideout, right? Here’s how to get to the Mask...
Not all art books are created equal. While some function as merely a rough compendium of sketches and concept art collected throughout the production of a game, movie, or television series, others rise to the height of being wholesale works of art — labors of love packed to the brim with creative insights and carefully constructed secrets, if not entire worlds unto themselves. The art book for South of Midnight,...
Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, is suing a former employee, Leroy Nabors, for misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of contract, according to a lawsuit filed April 4 in a North Carolina court. Among the allegations in the complaint, which Polygon has reviewed, Donaldson’s lawyers claim Nabors also installed hidden cameras “throughout Beast’s offices.” Though Donaldson as MrBeast is the face of the brand, his company is expansive; he...
Nintendo’s Switch 2 has exactly one weird and exciting new feature: The Joy-Con 2 can be used like a mouse. And it works well — even on pants! But only a few titles so far have confirmed support for the new hardware, including Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and a new game announced Monday: Mouse Work. Mouse Work is a party game for 1-4 players who can use the Joy-Con 2...
South of Midnight could debatably be called “South of Noon,” based on its release time in some time zones. South of Midnight is a Southern Gothic-inspired action adventure that’s also the next notable “Game Pass” release — a AA game that might fly under the radar but gets a boost by Xbox’s marketing apparatus for launching day one (albeit with staggered access) on Game Pass. So like Avowed, Atomfall, or...
“I don’t think that Game Changer gets meaningfully more ambitious than this season without me getting arrested,” Sam Reich — CEO of Dropout but, more pertinently, host of its flagship competition series, Game Changer — tells Polygon. Seven seasons in, Game Changer has hosted miniature versions of half a dozen reality shows, pulled off even more unique feats of intricately constructed mindfuckery, and variously terrorized, rewarded, thwarted, and bamboozled Dropout’s...
