Exciting times ahead for Xbox gamers, for sure. First

off in Insider this month, we’ve got news of a way

to get yourself an Xbox One X that you can then

upgrade to Scarlett when it comes out in a year’s

time! Xbox All Access is surely a great incentive to

treat yourself to the world’s best console, the X, in

the meantime – find out more on page 8! Fortnite

continues to surprise and impress. After everyone

thought the whole thing had literally disappeared up

its own, well, servers, Epic unveiled Chapter Two

with a brand-new island and more besides. We take

a tour of ‘Fortnite 2.0’ on page 10 this month. Then

we report from our time using xCloud streaming

which was released on beta to the general public

last month. Does it perform as Microsoft claims it

will, out in the real world? Find out how we found

the streaming service on page 13! As more and

more games are bumped for what publishers claim

are reasons of quality, we ponder, Are devs holding

back for next-gen? It’s our Hot Topic on page 16

this month. Then as always we bring you Barrel

Watch, opinions and more. Enjoy!
