Every weekend, Windows Central streams an Xbox One game or two on Twitch for 1-2 hours and gives out free games to the cool people who join us during the stream. It's like a live podcast, only you also get to watch a game while chatting with our awesome readers and viewers!
Tonight at 8pm Central (9pm Eastern, 6pm Pacific, 2am GMT), we'll be staying warm with some Beach Buggy Racing from Vector Unit. We want you guys there, chatting along. So we're giving out more than 10 codes for Xbox One and PlayStation 4!
Just follow us at Twitch.tv/WindowsCentral, enable email notifications , watch along, and participate in chat for your chance to win. After the stream ends, be sure to check back for the YouTube replay video and contest winners.
Tip: If watching the stream in another window, close this one to avoid audio echoes.
Beach Buggy Racing
Beach Buggy Racing is the latest racing game from Vector Unit, makers of Riptide GP2 and Hydro Thunder Hurricane. This one leaves the water behind for races on sand, streets, and even ice. It's the closest thing you'll find to Mario Kart on Xbox One.
In single-player, players will compete in an expansive campaign consisting of nine cups with six races each. You'll choose from eight different vehicles all with upgradable stats and customizable paint jobs. You can even unlock ten different drivers to man those sweet rides.
Beach Buggy Racing offers 15 exotic tracks to race through, and a whopping 20 power-ups with which to attack or defend against your fellow racers. In addition to the campaign, players can engage in Daily Challenge races or split-screen races for up to 6 players. And the split-screen actually has a few options this time, an improvement over Riptide GP2.
December is a cold month, so be sure to warm your blood by watching us race across the beach in Beach Buggy Racing!

How to watch Twitch livestreams
What's the best way to experience Twitch? The Twitch website on your PC or Mac web browser. If you don't have or prefer not to use a computer, you can get the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or Xbox 360 Twitch apps and watch from the comfort of your couch. Android and iOS both have official and unofficial Twitch apps to choose from as well.
On Windows Phone, you'll have to grab an unofficial app. There are several to choose from, each with different strengths and weaknesses. Only one app lets you search directly for our channel, though. If you use the others you'll have to find and follow us from a web browser first. Read the roundup to learn more!
