    Twitch is launching its own alerts tool for streamers.

    Many streamers already use third-party products to show alerts for things like new subscriptions or followers, but now Twitch is introducing its own alerts system. Streamers can access it from the creator dashboard.

    Hopefully, the alerts aren’t too annoying — though one example in Twitch’s blog post on the news is a bit much.

    The PC Gaming Show returns on June 11th.

    It kicks off at 4PM ET / 1PM ET, meaning it won’t get in the way of Microsoft’s Xbox showcase and Starfield Direct earlier that day. Should be a fun day of gaming news!

    Meta is opening up its members-only Horizon Worlds to more people.

    It’s moving the more private worlds from an alpha to a beta test, the company announced on Tuesday:

    People with access to the beta test will now have the ability to make visible members-only worlds – and anyone with access to Meta Horizon Worlds will be able to search for and request to join those members-only worlds, helping people grow their communities, find and make new ones in Worlds.
