PS4 players will compete against Xbox players at Paladins during DreamHack Valencia 2017. A prize pool of $50,000 is at stake.
Studio Hi-Rez wants to finally clarify which console players are the better ones! PS4 or Xbox One? Blue competes against Green.
At DreamHack in Valencia (Spain), the best Paladins players will compete against each other. This year, for the first time, Paladins console players will be represented in a major eSports event. The open beta of Paladins recently launched on PS4 and Xbox One. This is set to be celebrated at DreamHack in Valencia.
Paladins’ Great Console Battle: PS4 vs. Xbox One
The event makes eSports history. Cross-platform, PlayStation players will face off against Xbox players and represent “their” console. This has not happened before in any major multiplayer shooter at an event like DreamHack. The winner will receive a prize of €46,000.
Hi-Rez Studios’ CEO Todd Harris explained that they wanted to offer early competitive players on the console an attractive reward. The big console competition is meant to provide fun and finally end the “PS4 vs. Xbox” debate.
The tournament will take place from July 13 to 15 at DreamHack Valencia 2017 in Spain.
DreamHack is the world’s largest computer festival
DreamHack originally started as a simple LAN party. Now, there are two huge events in Sweden and even more festivals, events, and competitions all across Europe and North America. The events offer a platform for eSports, internet, gaming culture, and game developers. Last year, DreamHack recorded 233,000 visitors and over 135 million viewers following the live broadcast.
In addition to the great console battle, the following games from Hi-Rez are also scheduled for tournaments:
- Smite PC
- Smite Console
