Starting April 9, Fortnite is getting a new core mode developed by Epic Games called Arenas, which will allow players to take part in round-robin boxfight tournaments. Arenas, which was made with Unreal Editor for Fortnite, is essentially Epic's attempt to make its own version of a very popular genre of user-made Creative maps. Boxfights may be, in fact, Fortnite Creative's most common type of map.

Technically, Arenas is not Fortnite's first attempt at an official boxfight map. The Legends Landing island, which is likely better known among normal folks as a venue for watching pro Fortnite tournaments, has two small boxfight arenas in its lobby. But Arenas will be the first time that boxfights will be the actual main purpose of an Epic-made map.

Let's dive into the details so we can see how exactly it works.

Microsoft is making changes to the popular and long-running Achievements on Xbox, and people can start testing the changes today, April 8. Xbox Insiders can test these changes first, and you can sign up for the free program on the Xbox Insider website. The changes will roll out to everyone else later.

To begin with, Achievement notifications are getting a "visual refresh," including updated icons and animations, while the "Achievement unlocked" pop-up will now display in the custom color of your choosing. Microsoft said the aim here was to make each Achievement notification feel "more personal." Beyond that, there are going to be separate Achievement pop-up graphics for standard Achievements and "Rare" Achievements, the latter of which will be marked with a diamond.

Additionally, players will be able to hide games from their public Achievement history page on their profile. Players might want to hide Achievements for any number of reasons, and soon you'll be able to. Microsoft stressed that this only impacts how Achievements appear on your profile; games hidden from the Achievement page will still add to your overall Gamerscore tally.

Multiple Pokemon fans are finding that Pokemon Champions isn't up to snuff for the competitive scene, saying that it lacks several Pokemon and items that were even advertised in pre-release trailers.

Currently, Pokemon Champions only supports 186 Pokemon, only featuring fully evolved forms (with some exceptions like Pikachu). One X post spotted by Kotaku points out that a Mega Evolution for Raichu seen in the game's Pokemon Day trailer isn't present in Champions, and another post highlights items seen in the overview trailer that aren't in the game at launch.

To be somewhat fair to The Pokemon Company, most of the game's trailers have disclaimers saying that footage might include Pokemon "unavailable at the time of the Nintendo Switch version's release," implying that other missing Pokemon and Mega Evolution forms like Mega Raichu X could be added at a later time or when the mobile version of the game releases.
