This November 15 marks the 25th anniversary of the very first XBOX. To mark such an occasion, the brand is preparing several initiatives and gatherings to celebrate the event.

Let’s start with wallpapers and dynamic themes for both the console and the XBOX app for PC. These have been created by members of the community. An Xbox 25th Anniversary badge is also available to add to each user’s profile. You can get it by signing in before November 15, and it will remain available through the end of 2026.

Next, there are Xbox Game Pass collections featuring iconic games from select franchises to help players discover them. These include titles such as Fable Anniversary, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Fallout 4, and Psychonauts 2 too.

Finally, the Xbox FanFest World Tour will take place in the coming days. These community gatherings began on June 7 in Los Angeles and will continue starting August 26 in Cologne, Germany. Seven new dates are coming up, too.
