Fortnite is coming to E3. Developer Epic Games today announced its plans for the big-time gaming show–and there is a lot in store if you’re into the popular battle royale game.

Starting off, Epic will have a Fortnite booth on the show floor in the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center. There, from June 12 through June 14, you’ll be able to play Fortnite, win “exclusive prizes,” and eat snacks. It’s interesting that Fortnite would have an E3 booth when the game is already released–and free–but maybe Epic has something more to announce at the show that we do not know about yet.

In addition to its booth on the show floor, Epic is holding what it’s calling a “Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am” where popular streamers will team up with celebrities in a doubles tournament. $3 million in prize money is up for grabs (which is separate from the $100 million that Epic is handing out for other tournaments). The $3 million for the E3 tournament will be given away to a charity of the winner’s choosing, and that’s nice to see.

In total, there will be 50 professional players and 50 celebrities competing in the event. Some of the biggest pairings include Ninja and Marshmello, Myth and Paul George, and Markiplier and Joel McHale. The tournament is taking place on Tuesday, June 12, starting at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET.

Tickets cost $10, but you may not be able to get one. Epic said it’s sending out inivations to buy them by email only to people who live in the Los Angeles area. There will be 3,000 tickets available in all, and they’ll go out in waves, so keep checking your email.

Finally, Epic is hosting a “Party Royale” on the evening of June 12. This is an invite-only event, but you can visit the Fortnite booth on the show floor to enter for a chance to win a ticket. You have to be 18 or older to attend the party. And note that Party Royale tickets are separate from the Pro-Am tickets.

In other Fortnite news, the game’s newest update came out today, adding the long-awaited jetpacks and lots more–get all the details on the new patch here.

Microsoft has announced a set of new Xbox One dashboard features that will start to roll out to Alpha Preview members in the June update. These won’t be available to the wider Xbox One user population until a later date, but as usual the preview features give us an advance look at what’s coming.

A new customization option called Groups will allow you to create custom collections of games and apps. They’re essentially custom sets of Pins, so you’ll be able to display multiple collections on the Home and the My Games and Apps menus. Your Groups will be tied to your Xbox Live account, so they’ll appear consistently across multiple consoles.

Other new features include an improved search, with the function mapped to Y across anywhere in the dashboard and easier access to displaying more results. You’ll also be able to store multiple wi-fi passwords, and the Narrator will add five more languages: Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Swedish, and Dutch. The notes mention an improvement to family sharing with child accounts.

Some users will also get experimental features as pilot tests for the future. The full announcement also includes notes on changes made based on user feedback, and bug fixes.

Iron Banner is back

Lord Saladin is back in the Tower–and that means Iron Banner has returned to Destiny 2 for its latest version. Notably, this is the first Iron Banner event in Destiny 2’s Season 3.

As in the past, you will earn rewards such as gear and ornaments for completing challenges and more. We’ve rounded up all of these into this gallery, so click through to see everything you can get in this event.

Iron Banner runs May 22-29. The gametype this time around is Control, which challenges players to capture and control parts of the map to win.

There are multiple challenges you can partake in, including:

• Avenger — Defeat 5 opponents who recently defeated you or a teammate.
• Light versus Light — Defeat an opponent while their Super ability is active.
• Objectively Awesome — Capture 15 zones with your team during a match of Control.

Note that you must be Level 20 to participate in Iron Banner. If Lord Saladin does not show up in the Tower, Bungie advises that you return to Orbit and enter the Tower again.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a turn-based strategy adventure game, and Donkey Kong has been patiently waiting for his turn to join in on the action. So, get ready to go bananas with DK as a playable hero in the up-and-coming single-player DLC.

When Ubisoft began work on Donkey Kong as a playable character for Kingdom Battle they knew they had an opportunity to play around with some exciting new abilities. So, they gave him some fun new tricks that add an entirely new layer of strategy to an already superb tactics game.

Some battle maps have special platforms that let Donkey Kong swing all the way across to the other side of a level — which can be very advantageous during boss battles. He uses a Banana Boomerang as his primary weapon that can chain attack multiple enemies, and he can use his Konga Drums to lure enemies closer for an easy target. Donkey Kong can also throw characters and objects across the map, which seems to come in handy during most battles. It’s a fun new mechanic that lets you cover more ground, while also dealing a little extra damage to any enemies in your way.

May’s Pokemon Go Community Day may be over, but Niantic has already announced details for next month’s event. The sixth Community Day will take place on Saturday, June 16, and it’ll feature the rare Rock-type Pokemon Larvitar.

During the event, Larvitar will appear in much greater numbers than usual. Judging by the past few Community Days, players will need to evolve it into a Tyranitar before the event ends in order to learn a rare attack, although what move that will be remains to be seen; Niantic doesn’t typically announce a Community Day’s exclusive attack until just prior to the event.

In addition to increased Larvitar spawns, players will be able to earn extra XP by participating in the Community Day. During the event hours, players will receive triple the normal amount of XP for capturing Pokemon. Additionally, any Lure Modules that are activated during the event will last for three hours, as opposed to their usual 30 minutes.

As before, the Community Day will only run during a specific three-hour window, which begins at different times depending on what part of the world you live in. You can find the scheduled hours for each region below:

North America

• 11 AM – 2 PM PT
• 2 PM – 5 PM ET

Europe and Africa

• 10 AM – 1 PM BST

Asia-Pacific

• 12 PM – 3 PM JST

The Community Day isn’t the only real-world event taking place next month. Niantic is kicking off the Pokemon Go Summer Tour 2018 on June 30 with a Safari Zone event in Dortmund, Germany. That will be followed in July by the second Pokemon Go Fest event in Chicago, with a special Safari Zone event planned for Yokosuka later this summer.

In other news, Niantic recently announced that Alolan forms of Gen 1 Pokemon will soon begin appearing in Pokemon Go. The Legendary bird Ho-Oh is also available again in Raid Battles until June 7, giving players another opportunity to capture it. Meanwhile, the Eon Pokemon Latios and Latias are scheduled to leave the game on June 5.
