Starting today, and through November 2021, Xbox will celebrate its 20-year history with a series of initiatives around the world.
Xbox this year is 20 years old , and waiting for the highlight of the celebrations, which will be November 15, 2021 (the original Xbox console was released in North America November 15, 2001 , followed by the launch around the world, including Japan, Europe and China), Microsoft kicks off the celebrations from today at 8.00 pm CEST on the brand’s official Twitch channel, with a live special . A direct that will start from the game where it all began, namely Halo: Combat Evolved available on Halo: Master Chief Collection .
The Microsoft party for Xbox
A moment of joy and celebration that the company wishes to share with all fans, who will be able to participate in the “virtual” party by posting the most beautiful memories and stories that link them to Xbox on their social media using the hashtag # Xbox20 . In addition, by visiting this link , all fans will be able to remember or discover a new game thanks to a special collection that includes the greatest titles that have marked the history of Xbox .
“Twenty years ago” – reads a note published by the Redmond giant on the Xbox official website – “playing on our consoles meant connecting it with three (or more!) Cables to a standard definition CRT TV. You had to pre-order the hottest new games and queue at your favorite store to pick them up. The games were then played at a resolution of 640×480 and you only had 8GB of storage and 64MB of memory to enjoy them. Now you can enjoy your favorite titles on your Xbox Series X | S console, PC or mobile device, downloading them directly to your platform without having to move from home, and at 4K resolution”.
But this year not only commemorates 20 years of Xbox, it also marks the 20th anniversary of the Halo franchise , which will be celebrated with the release to market of several new themed gadgets . “That magical moment when Master Chief first entered a mysterious ringworld,” writes Microsoft on the console’s official website, “has long been a hallmark of the Xbox experience, and in the last 20 years Halo has become deeply rooted in the DNA of this brand and its fans ”. And the Redmond giant says he is thrilled to be able to celebrate this milestone worthily with the launch of Halo Infinite which will take place next fall.
