Beam Arrives on Xbox One With Theme Week, Prizes and More

It’s Beam Week!

To celebrate the recent global launch of the Beam viewing app on Xbox One, Microsoft is kicking off a week long “Beam takeover” of Xbox Wire to highlight what makes it such a unique streaming experience. They will publish daily posts and cover what makes the community so special, the ins-and-outs of interactivity, how to become a streamer and more. You can check out our first post – a quick “101” of some of Beam’s best features: http://news.xbox.com/2017/04/03/xbox-one-beam-theme-week-beam-101/.

Also as part of the celebration, today is the start of Beam Theme Week. Each day, participating streamers will livestream their own interpretation of a unique and fun theme.

As a special bonus for those tuning in, we’ll be giving away over 2,000 Beam Pro codes, Xbox Live Gold 3-month codes, and ID@Xbox game codes. True to its name, Theme Week will have a specific theme for each day that streamers can participate in. Here’s a look:

  • Mighty Monday: Vanquish the Monday blues by getting heroic! This could mean being a superhero (Anti-Procrastination Man, anyone?), paying tribute to your personal heroes, or even cosplaying as a character from mythology.
  • Tropical Tuesday: BYOP (Bring Your Own Parrot. Or pineapple. Palm tree, even.)
  • Onesie Wednesday: Try saying that five times fast! We think this day is fairly self-explanatory.
  • Thursday of the Dead: Zombies, and monsters, and ghouls! Oh my!
  • Fancy Friday: Time to suit up! Feel free to be as swanky or gaudy as you like.

So participate in chat and you could win one of the codes up for grabs.

Check out the Beam blog for the full schedule and more information about the giveaways.
