Twitch now lets you filter PUBG streams by the number of remaining players

Thanks to Twitch’s new stream filters, you’re now able to filter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds streams based on surviving players. Twitch launched this new set of custom filters earlier, and they’re available to everyone watching PUBG streams. The filters allow you to sort by team type (solo, duo, squad), and even by the number of remaining players in the round. You can choose from ‘More than 50′, ’25-50’, or fewer than 25 for the most hectic streams. The filters work in a similar way to the language filters, and you’ll be able to see the results on the spot. No one likes a chicken dinner when it’s cold. Be there for the big moments by watching @PUBG on Twitch with our new custom filters. pic.twitter.com/A4w2z0Bs2s — Twitch (@Twitch) May 15, 2018 The new filters definitely sound cool, but they are not the first PUBG-related innovation from a streaming platform. Late last year, Microsoft’s Mixer debuted the HypeZone channel , a channel that automatically features streamers ...

SteamVR Input is Valve’s way of streamlining input across the different VR controllers

With SteamVR Input, Valve is doing to VR controllers what it once did to traditional controllers on Steam. In a new SteamVR update, Valve made a big addition called SteamVR Input. In short, the new system allows users to create their own controller bindings that will work across the different VR controllers, whether that’s Valve’s HTC Vice, Rift Touch etc. The tech is designed to even apply the same configs to controllers that have not yet been released, so long as they support SteamVR Input. Like Steam Controller configs, these can be shared with others through the Steam Workshop. This not only lets players make a one-size-fits-all list of bindings and use with all controllers, it also helps developers adapt controls in their games to the wider array of available VR controllers. “When using SteamVR Input, developers expose high level ‘actions’ in their applications that control how the binding UI presents their game to users,” Valve explained . This works with all games that su...
