Top 30 Gaming Trends in September

From Console Subscription Programs to eSports VR Spaces

The various innovations featured in this September 2018 gaming list range from performance boosting peripherals to in-game rewards for security upgrades. This in-game reward is perhaps one of the most interesting updates to the immensely popular Fortnite: Battle Royale and offers players an in-game dance for simply upgrading to two-factor authentication.

Also featured is a new subscription service offered by Microsoft for its Xbox One consoles. Instead of requiring buyers to purchase a new console and online service, the Xbox All Access program will let players finance their console at a low cost of just $22 a month. This model is not only incredibly cost-effective but also allows users to test out the console at a reduced rate.

The September 2018 gaming list also includes an impressive gamer immersion chair that dwarfs simply playing video games from a chair. Inspired by plane cockpits, the Acer Predator Thronos enables optimal comfort and peak gaming performance.
