Is the Xbox Series X and LG OLED TV a match made in heaven? Well, the two are teaming up for an exclusive partnership!

LG and Xbox are joining forces in marketing next gen gaming. This will happen in key markets in Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Asia Pacific. LG is the official TV partner of Microsoft’s latest gaming console in these markets.

LG’s most advanced TV’s are uniquely equipped to take advantage of next gen consoles. The TVs support HDMI 2.1 which brings fort features like Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and enhanced audio return channel (eARC).

Of course, there’s also gaming at 4K 120Hz. The Xbox Series X encourages players to game not only in 4K but with a 120Hz refresh rate for reduced screen tearing and on overall smoother gameplay.

LG’s 2020 OLED TVs are also the first to support the new HGiG profile and as founding members of the HDR Gaming Interest Group, LG and Microsoft are confident that the latest HDR titles will look exactly as their developers intended. The TV and the console also support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmost for an even more immersive experience.

“We’re confident that the heightened visual quality from combining LG OLED TV and Xbox Series X will blow gamers away,” said S.P. Baik, head of the TV product planning division of LG’s Home Entertainment Company.

Netflix’s Blood of Zeus now in the game Immortal Fenyx Rising

In a themed quest called “A tribute to family”

Published

January 25, 2021

GadgetMatch

This crossover just makes so much sense. Netflix’s animated series Blood of Zeus is in Ubisoft’s Immortal Fenyx Rising. Players will be able to dive into a Blood of Zeus–themed quest and purchase an all-new character pack and weapon pack.

From January 21 to January 28, in a Blood of Zeus–themed quest called “A tribute to family”, players will take on two evil creatures of another world: Chimera and Cerberus. Upon completion of the quest, players will earn the Eagle pendant and all-new character customization options tied to “Blood of Zeus.”

The weapon pack contains Blood of Zeus–themed skins for your Sword, Axe and Bow. Meanwhile, the Blood of Zeus character pack lets you walk in the footsteps of the Amazonian warrior Alexia.

Immortals Fenyx Rising is a fresh game with an action and puzzle filled open world that has humor and Greek mythology enclosed into it. You might say it can be a mix of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Zelda: Breath of wild.
