It’s Daily time! Today we are talking about Xbox France’s LEGO Star Wars appointment, Microsoft’s domination of the next-gen console market ending with the theft of millions of NFTs. The Daily, let’s go!
The LEGO Star Wars Rendezvous
A real treasure hunt has started with the Star Wars community. Xbox France said in a tweet that they had changed their biography for a temporary period: “48.861549, 2.347389 – May 4, on the spot, you will find out.” These are geographical coordinates indicating the position of the LEGO Store des Halles in Châtelet, in the heart of Paris. This is very clearly an invitation for the fans. Warner Bros Games France, publisher of the game LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, even replied to the tweet. Coincidence? I do not believe. See you in a few days for more details.
Xbox Series, leader du marché next-gen
Microsoft yesterday announced its results for the third financial quarter, which ended on March 31. The tech giant’s gaming section grew 6% year-on-year over the same period. The company totals $3.74 billion. These fine figures are justified by the market shares gained globally for two consecutive quarters thanks to the sales of Xbox Series X and S. But according to Amy Hood, Microsoft’s chief financial officer, a decrease could be observed during the fourth due to the lack of consoles available. The upgrade of the PS Plus offer is also likely to influence these figures.
Several million dollars stolen in NFT!
Do you know NFTs? Basically, it is a digital title of ownership that is secured using a technology called blockchain. At present, these are mostly digital works, which can command very high prices. Yuga Labs is one of the largest NFT owners in terms of valuation, making it a benchmark in the industry. But some kids had the idea of hacking his Instagram account to post a trick link there, leading to a copy of the official Yuga Labs website. Using a “special operation” to obtain free NFTs, hackers took the opportunity to loot the wallets of 44 victims. In total, 133 NFTs disappeared for an estimated total of 2.25 million euros.
