Update: Comcast announced Friday, March 13, some additional changes to its internet services during the COVID-19 crisis. The company is offering Xfinity WiFi Free For Everyone which will see Xfinity WiFi hotspots available to anyone who needs them, including those who aren't current Xfinity Internet customers. This will be in effect for 60 days. You can view a map of these hotspots here. Once at a hotspot, Comcast said to select the "xfinitywifi" network name in the list of available hotspots before launching a browser. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/13/how-coronavirus-delays-are-impacting-2020-movies-ign-now"] Comcast is also pausing its current data plans meaning that for the next 60 days, all customers will have access to unlimited data for no additional charge. Comcast also said that it will not disconnect internet service or charge late fees to customers that contact the company to let them know that they can't pay their internet bill at this time. For customers with children home from school due to the virus, Comcast said it's created "new educational collections for all grade levels" in a partnership with Common Sense Media. To access these collections, customers need to say "education" into their X1 Flex voice remotes. Customers can also say "Coronavirus" into the remote to access a collection of information related to the virus. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/13/how-coronavirus-delays-are-impacting-2020-movies-ign-now"] [poilib element="accentDivider"] Original story as follows: Internet providers are playing nicely as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Well, Comcast and AT&T are at least so far. As reported on by Vice, AT&T is the first major internet service provider to suspend broadband data caps during the COVID-19 outbreak. AT&T told Vice that the suspension on broadband data caps is in effect and will be until further notice. "Many of our AT&T Internet customers already have unlimited home internet access, and we are waiving internet data overage for the remaining customers," an AT&T spokesperson told Vice. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/11/e3-cancelled-due-to-coronavirus-concerns-ign-daily-fix"] Comcast is the second major ISP to confirm a change in its internet access amid the COVID-19 crisis, as reported by Variety, but it's not dropping broadband data caps. Instead, Comcast announced that it is offering free broadband to low-income households and that the company will be boosting internet speeds. Comcast's change will go into effect Monday, March 16, and it will bring two new features to the Internet Essentials Program. The first feature is for low-income households. Low-income families that live in an area with access to Comcast can sign up as a new customer to receive 60 free days of the Internet Essentials service. This service usually comes with a price tag of $9.95 per month. The second feature is Comcast's increase in speeds. The increased speeds will only apply to those with the Internet Essentials service. The service currently offers 15 Mbps for download and 2 Mbps for upload, but starting Monday, the service will jump to 25 and 3 respectively. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] "Our hope is that broader access and faster speeds will help all of our Internet Essentials customers more easily work from home, access educational resources, obtain important government health care alerts, and stay in contact with their families during this difficult time," Comcast Cable's President of Consumer Services Dana Strong said in a statement to Variety. Only those who qualify for programs like the National School Lunch Program or SNAP are eligible for Comcast's Internet Essentials service. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/25/how-coronavirus-is-impacting-the-games-industry"] The COVID-19 outbreak has led to many changes in the past few days and weeks, including the suspension of the NBA basketball season. It's led to movie delays such as Mulan and No Time to Die, and has led to the closure of theme parks like Disney World and Universal Studios Hollywood. Earlier this week, one of the world's largest video game conferences, E3, was cancelled due to concerns over COVID-19.

Steam, the ever-popular digital PC gaming platform, has just broken its own previous record for most concurrent players.

According to Steam’s own statistics tracker, a peak count of 19,728,027 people were using the service around 7:00 a.m. Saturday morning, a brand new record for the service.

The previous concurrent user record for Steam was approximately 18,801,944 as of February 2020, making the new record almost a jump of 1 million users.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/14/half-life-2-developers-react-to-50-minute-speedrun"]

Unsurprisingly, this also means that some of Steam’s (and owner Valve’s) most popular games have also set new concurrent players records. Valve’s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (also known as CS:GO) managed to peak at 1,007,062 players, while DOTA 2 peaked at 694,829. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has peaked at 525,462 players, while Rainbow Six Siege and Grand Theft Auto Online bring up the rear.

It’s unsurprising news, to say the least, considering many people around the globe are practicing a higher level of caution in the wake of the novel coronavirus/COVID-19 outbreak, and likely avoiding public gatherings. That leaves a lot of time to play video games.

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] In the world of film and television, numerous blockbuster movies and programs have seen either their theatrical release dates or production schedules postponed. Meanwhile, when it comes to major streaming platforms, Disney+ has announced that Frozen 2 will be hitting Disney’s service three months early.

Update: Production on Warner Bros.' The Batman has officially been halted for two weeks, a company spokesperson has confirmed to IGN. It was previously reported that production on The Batman, which stars Robert Pattinson as the titular caped crusader, was relocating from London to Liverpool. Warner Bros. reportedly made the decision to just stop production altogether out of safety concerns. Deadline reports that no one from the cast or production crew has been diagnosed with COVID-19. Warner Bros. has stated it will "monitor the situation closely" as COVID-19 developments continue. Original story as follows: It appears as though, while other movie productions across the globe have shut down due to concerns over the spread of coronavirus, Matt Reeves' The Batman is still filming. Variety film reporter Justin Kroll states that a source close to Warner Bros. says the studio's films The Batman, Matrix 4, and King Richard (starring Will Smith) are still in production. Here's Kroll's tweet...

Source close to WB saying BATMAN, MATRIX and KING RICHARD shoots will continue. SQUAD, LITTLE THINGS and REMINISCE are all in post, BLACK ADAM doesn’t start till august, AQUAMAN in 2021

— Justin Kroll (@krolljvar) March 13, 2020

In Kroll's chain, he also mentions that Fantastic Beasts 3 is still set to start filming on Monday. Also mentioned, James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, The Little Things (starring Denzel Washington), and Reminisce (starring Hugh Jackman, written directed by Westworld's Lisa Joy) have all finished filming and are now in post-production. DC films Black Adam and Aqauaman 2 haven't started production yet, and won't for a little while. Obviously, productions could come to a halt if Warner Bros. changes its mind. The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz, began filming in the U.K. at the end of January. The film's take on the Batmobile has many influences, from the comics to the original TV series. For more on the new movie, here's everything we know so far about The Batman. Then check out IGN's ranking of all the movie Batsuits and our pick for the best movie Batman. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/07/designing-the-perfect-batsuit"] Regarding the entertainment industry's response to the pandemic, here is a running list of every movie release that's been delayed and every TV and movie production that's been shut down.

Netflix has announced that it's temporarily shutting down production for its original movies and shows to reduce the spread of coronavirus. All of the streaming giant's scripted television and film projects in the United States and Canada will go on hiatus for two weeks. Included in these productions is Stranger Things, which was in the midst of filming its fourth season. The Warner Bros. Television Group released a statement regarding the situation:

"With the rapidly changing events related to COVID-19, and out of an abundance of caution, Warner Bros. Television Group is halting production on some of our 70-plus series and pilots currently filming or about to begin. There have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 on any of our productions, but the health and safety of our employees, casts and crews remains our top priority. During this time, we will continue to follow the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control as well as local officials and public health professionals in each city where our productions are based.”

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] Warner Bros. TV is far from the only studio putting a halt to production as all NBC, Amazon, FX, and Apple TV+ series are taking a break from filming as well. AMC has also stopped production on Fear the Walking Dead Season 6, until at least the week of April 13, while pre-production on Season 11 of The Walking Dead has also been delayed for a month, although the writers' room is still active and working on scripts. Meanwhile, here's a quick look at everything we know about Stranger Things: Season 4.

UPDATE: AMC Theaters, America's largest movie cinema chain, will close its nearly 700 locations across the United States for at least six to twelve weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic, the company announced Monday. AMC's announcement comes on the heels of Regal Cinemas' earlier announcement that it was also closing down temporarily to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Other theater chains who suspended operation Monday include the Landmark, Harkins Theaters, the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Showcase Cinemas, and Bow Tie Cinemas Our earlier report follows. [poilib element="accentDivider"] In an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus, AMC Theaters announced that it's reducing capacity in each of its auditoriums by at least 50%, from Saturday, March 14 through April 30. AMC will cap ticket sales for each showtime in each of its theatre’s auditoriums to half of the normal capacity. In auditoriums with more than 500 seats, AMC will further cap ticket sales to a maximum of 250. Per Deadline, AMC is the first theater chain to address the COVID-19 pandemic and, as the largest theater chain in the country, is also actively complying with "all local authorities’ directives on social gathering and is further reducing the availability of tickets to comply with any current or future federal, state or local governmental order." Each theaters' health and safety cleaning protocols have also been enhanced “to ensure that at least once per hour within an AMC building, the theatre team is cleaning high touch point areas, including kiosks, counter tops, restroom areas, glass, handrails and doorknobs.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] Meanwhile, a handful of movies have had their releases delayed, including F9, No time to Die, Mulan, and more.

Universal Pictures halted production on Jurassic World: Dominion on Friday due to the ongoing novel coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19). Jurassic World: Dominion, the third entry in the new trilogy that continues the saga of 1993's Jurassic Park, had been filming in London since February. According to Variety, the shoot has been delayed indefinitely and it's not clear at this time if the film's June 2021 will also be affected. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] The movie -- directed and co-written by Colin Trevorrow -- unites the casts of the Jurassic World and Jurassic Park films, including Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Omar Sy, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. Universal also stopped production on two other live-action films, the Ice Cube sports film Flint Strong and the Billy Eichner film formerly known as Bros. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/13/how-coronavirus-delays-are-impacting-2020-movies-ign-now"] For more of our coverage on how Hollywood is responding to COVID-19, here's a rundown of every film release and production that has been delayed, discover what a high-ranking studio exec and box office analysts said about its potential impact on the industry, and find out if medical experts think postponing a film's release will make a difference.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and the complete 9-film Skywalker Saga are both now available for purchase on digital platforms, and they arrive four days early. While it hasn't been officially announced, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and The Skywalker Saga collection can now be purchased on such digital platforms as FandangoNOW, Vudu, and iTunes. This surprise from that galaxy far, far away arrives shortly after the news that Disney will also be making Frozen 2 available on Disney+ three months early on Sunday, March 15, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may be the cause for this early release as well. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/18/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-review"] COVID-19, besides the obvious threat to the human race, has impacted many in the entertainment industry and their fans. Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney California Adventure have been closed through the end of the month, the NBA, NHL, MLB, and more have postponed their seasons, and much more. The Rise of Skywalker was originally set to be released digitally on March 17 and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-Ray, and DVD on March 31. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was released in theaters in late 2019 and earned $1.074 billion at the global box office. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] In our review of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, we said that it is "an entertaining but deeply flawed final chapter that ultimately plays it too safe." The Rise of Skywalker and Frozen 2 releasing early will hopefully help deal with the many other delays affecting the film and TV industry, including Mulan, Fast 9, and more.
