Spin Rhythm XD Introduces Multiplayer and Five New Tracks in Early Access 

MELBOURNE — December 17, 2019 — Spin Rhythm XD, the intergalactic rhythm game with the juiciest beats in the universe from Super Spin Digital, adds competitive multiplayer and five brand new tracks to Steam Early Access today.

Turn the world into a house party with SpinFM, an always-online competitive mode. Scratch and spin along with a live radio to compete with the best players in the world. Work together to contribute points to ever-increasing high scores. While there’s no fail state, dropping streaks and multipliers means a lower score. Spam six emojis at other players to encourage (or discourage!) them. A new mode deserves new songs, so Super Spin Digital is introducing five new tracks along with SpinFM.

‘Coming Too’ by Melbourne DJ FarfetchD (feat. Elysium and Nutmeg) introduces an infectious groove sure to get stuck in players’ heads. Spin Rhythm XD OST Vol. 1 original ‘I See Lite’ by Kitty, keeps spinners smiling with a blissful tune. Anomalie’s ‘Métropole’ is a musical love-letter to Montreal and the title track from his debut EP. Change it up with the heavy nu-disco vibes in F.O.O.L.’s ‘Showdown,’ a Monstercat classic. Earn a standing ovation with the dubstep/saxophone fusion in Teminite’s inspirational ‘Believe.’

Each of the 23 total tracks now has a unique, live global leaderboard. Chase high scores by keeping time and deftly matching the colored notes as they hypnotically cascade to musical flow. Spin Rhythm XD is built for replayability, and Super Spin Digital plans to continue to add tracks, features, and push the rhythm genre into the future.

“SpinFM’s communal feel and score-chasing highs are just a taste of how we want to keep Spin Rhythm feeling fresh throughout Steam Early Access,” said Dave Curro, co-founder of Super Spin Digital. “We’re keen to see our community ascend the ranks on the new global leaderboards of each song.”

Spin Rhythm XD is available now on Steam Early Access in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified + Traditional), Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese. A Nintendo Switch version will be available in 2020. For more information on Spin Rhythm XD visit the official website, Twitter and Discord.

PC Players from Over 60 Countries Eligible to Compete in The Game Awards Best Multiplayer Game of 2019

Australia, 18 Dec – Today, Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ: EA) and Respawn Entertainment announced the Apex Legends Global Series. The series is comprised of online and live events for PC players who will compete for a prize purse of more than $3 million. The Apex Legends Global Series will initially feature 12 global live events, either self-executed by EA and Respawn or produced by notable esports tournament organisers PGL and GLL. Online competition will be powered by Battlefy with registration for the first event opening in early January.

“Competition is at the heart of Apex Legends,” said Vince Zampella, Head of Respawn Entertainment. “We expect that esports will play a big role in the future of ApexLegends and it all starts here, with the Apex Legends Global Series. We look forward to seeing who, out of our millions of players, will become true legends of the arena.”

The Apex Legends Global Series is an inclusive, open ecosystem created to make stars of all players. Residents of one of the more than 60 eligible countries who meet minimum age, PC system requirements, and other eligibility requirements can compete.* The competitive journey for many will start with online competition, with competitors potentially advancing to live, regional Challenger Events and global Premier Events. Players will earn Apex Legends Global Series Points for their performances in online and certain live events and those atop the standings will be invited to the four Apex Legends Global Series Majors, the highest competitive live event tier.

“Apex Legends is one of the most impactful launches in videogame history and it possesses immense esports potential,” said John Nelson, Apex Legends Competitive Gaming Commissioner. “Through close communication with our community, we’ve built an accessible Apex Legends ecosystem where any player can become a potential star while the world watches our unique, entertaining take on Battle Royale esports.”
The first three Majors will each feature 100 three-player squads from around the world. The fourth Major, the Apex Legends Global Series Championship, is the grand finale. Only the top 60 Apex Legends Global Series teams in the world will be invited to battle for $1 million in prizes and the title of Apex Legends Global Series World Champion.

All four Majors will feature the Apex Legends exclusive Match Point format, which debuted at the Apex Legends Preseason Invitational in September to positive reception. Match Point requires teams in the Finals to reach a points threshold through a combination of match placement and accumulated kills. Apex Legends is the only Battle Royale esport to feature this uniquely exciting end game mechanic.

The first Apex Legends Global Series competition is an Online Tournament taking place on January 25, 2020. Registration will open for the event in early January. Players can earn Apex Legends Global Series Points and an invitation to the first Major on March 13-15, 2020 held at Esports Stadium Arlington based on their Online Tournament performance. Many of the Apex Legends Global Series Online Tournaments will be produced from the newly built EA Broadcast Center at company headquarters. Subsequent Apex Legends Global Series details will be announced soon.
*For more Apex Legends Global Series information and the Official Rules, please visit http://www.playapex.com/algs

Developed by Respawn Entertainment, Apex Legends delivers a squad-based Battle Royale experience where players select from one of 11 Legends – each with their own unique abilities and playstyles – and the last team standing wins. Combatants can choose from unique characters like Bloodhound, the tracker who can see recent enemy activity on the map, or Lifeline, a battlefield medic who can shield teammates and bring them back from the brink of death. Balanced squads and teamwork are critical, as each Legend is easy to pick up and learn, but challenging to master.
