Microsoft has unveiled its new Upload Outreach Program. The company will provide aspiring streamers with free Xbox One consoles and games in a bid to help promote the system online, Belfast Telegraph said.

A year of Xbox Live Gold will also be available to successful applicants.

Gamers can enter by recording and uploading a one-minute video about their favourite Xbox 360 or Xbox One game.

Links must be sent to upload@microsoft.com before September 15.

20 console bundles are up for grabs under the scheme, each with a retail price of around £1,322.

Both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will allow players to record gameplay clips via the Twitch app included in both next-generation consoles.

Full details of the Upload Outreach Program can be found on the Xbox One website.
