Microsoft announces Upload Outreach Program

4.7
It would seem that Microsoft recognises the importance of YouTubers in the gaming market, as it announces the Upload Outreach Program. This will see a free console, free games, and a year of Xbox Live Gold go to 20 aspiring streamers.

Calling it a ‘program’ seems a little off, as it’s really more of a competition. If you want to win all you need do is create a one-minute video about an Xbox 360 or Xbox One game you love. Then, keeping with the point of the competition, you put it online and send the link to Microsoft. Full details and the necessary information can be found on the official site.

The closing date is September 15. There are 20 console bundles to be won, each worth approximately £1322. Nice.

It’s a savvy move from Microsoft as the influence of streamers only continues to grow. This is set to carry on into the next generation as both Xbox One and PS4 will let you record gameplay clips and upload them to the ‘net, or stream gameplay live through the Twitch app.

Eta Would be nice to win this. One minute of work and you get 1322.


No, the 20 consoles all together are worth 1322 lol..


20 consoles at 430 is 8600
20 consoles at 499 is 10000

It also says "There are 20 console bundles to be won, each worth approximately 1322"

Meaning each bundle giving away is worth approximately 1322 not the consoles :)


Each bundle is worth approximately 1322 because it comes with a Xbox One, a 12 Month Gold Subscription card and ALL launch titles.


I doubt anyone would pay that much for it though.

Pashtun LOL. This is too funny. If you go to youtube you see all the hate videos about the Xbox One. Microsoft is trying to get rid of those and trying to post good videos about the Xbox One. This is kind of like when they got their employees to post positive things on reddit.


Yea I know, all the hate was from the DMR(DRM?).


And how the Kinect always watched you. That's all I can remember.
You forgot the part where it looks like a VCR.


And the PS4 looks like a blu-ray play right right. 99% of people wont say "ugly console" and not buy it. Besides, you no longer need Kinect to use it, the DRM policy has been dropped, so there is nothing else for people to ***** about.


How about the fact that it is a home theatre system, not firstly a games console. That trumps it already
The more features the better. Atleast we can do everything you can and more. Plus, we do it first. Example party chat, Minecraft, TV and the list continues...
