As Microsoft makes Xbox Live an entertainment service that spreads across more platforms (including Switch, Android and iOS), it’s also relaxing the naming scheme. Since it’s been in operation since 2002, many commonly-requested aliases are already taken, but now users can grab pretty much any name they want, even if someone else already has it.

Now, it will still let you create a new user name even if someone else has it, but it will auto-assign an ID number after it to make yours unique. Other services like Steam and Discord already use a similar setup, and it should mean an end to purging old, abandoned usernames or forcing them to expire so that new users can get a crack at them. Of course, if you’ve been around for a while, everyone will know you are the original CheeToMan247 given your lack of an add-on ID number.

Aside from showing off the next major update to Fallout 76, dubbed Wastelanders, Bethesda has revealed a new first-person action game called Deathloop. This new title comes from studio Arcane Lyon, the creators of the Dishonored franchise. As you’ll see in the trailer below, Deathloop looks intense and action-packed. Bethesda says that the world of Deathloop is designed to transport players to a lawless island called Blackreef, where you can experience the struggle of two “extraordinary assassins.”

To replace the presser that would normally round up all of the company’s big announcements, EA will focus on livestreams. The gaming giant will operate multiple streams that will air during the first two days of EA Play that will focus on gameplay action. EA also plans to have members of teams behind upcoming titles join the streams to provide information directly to viewers.

EA isn’t the first developer to drop at least partially from E3. Sony announced last year that it plans to skip the conference entirely, opting not to hold a keynote or appear at the expo. It’s the first time since 1995 that there won’t be an official PlayStation presence at the event. E3 has also proved to be less necessary in recent years, especially for indie developers who have found new ways to get their games in front of audiences.
