We’re still six months away from the 20 year anniversary for Xbox and Halo, but it seems Xbox wants to begin the festivities a little early. Starting today, Xbox is celebrating 20 years, and wants to bring its millions of fans along for the ride. There’s already a lot to look forward to, and Xbox is planning even more announcements, activities, and ways to celebrate as we begin the march towards November 15, 2021, and 20 years of Xbox. First on the list is an exciting new trailer that helps showcase where Xbox began, and how it’s grown and evolved in the two decades since with Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Cloud Gaming through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and more.
Once the nostalgic juices are flowing from the new trailer and more, Xbox has a ton of new merch in the Xbox Gear Shop with the new “20 Years” logos for both Xbox and Halo including shirts, hats, mugs, bags, and more. Xbox super fans can also now register for the return of Xbox FanFest, which is now being expanded with exclusive physical and digital events, new content, merch, giveaways, and more.
Too much to handle? You can keep track of everything happening with Xbox’s six-month-long celebration at 20 Years of Xbox. Of course, this celebration isn’t all about Xbox. Halo: Combat Evolved debuted with the original Xbox on November 15, 2021. With the launch of Halo Infinite confirmed to be this upcoming fall, is it possible the next era of Halo will begin on the 20 year anniversary of the first? Of course, Halo Infinite has not been confirmed to be launching on November 15, but there are just enough teases from Xbox to make me think the possibility is there.

The media remotes to get for your new Xbox Series X or Series S
The new Xbox Series X and Series S aren’t quite the home entertainment giants their predecessor was, but they’re still very good with access to all the top digital streaming media services. And that means you’re going to be doing more than just gaming, and for that you need a good remote. It’s a better way to go than a controller for sure.
