Microsoft is already making ready for Xbox and Halo’s Twenty fifth anniversaries

In a current interview with License International, Microsoft’s head of Xbox gaming shopper merchandise John Good friend confirmed that Microsoft is already making ready for Xbox’s Twenty fifth anniversary celebrations in 2026.

“We’ve got these huge, incredible franchises starting from World of Warcraft — celebrating its twentieth anniversary this 12 months –— to Halo, Name of Responsibility, to StarCraft, and rather more,” Good friend mentioned. “We’re constructing plans for the Twenty fifth anniversary of Halo and Xbox — we’ve got such a wealthy heritage and historical past, and these communities have been lively for thus lengthy, you must rejoice that.”

Good friend does not trace at what these plans may entail, so we’ll want to attend and see. To rejoice PlayStation’s thirtieth anniversary this 12 months, Sony is releasing restricted version PS5 consoles — together with the brand new, dear PS5 Professional — themed on the unique PlayStation. They give the impression of being actually cool, and it might be good to see Microsoft do an identical factor for Xbox in 2026.

Microsoft does wish to knock out particular version Xbox controllers, so maybe we count on to see a Twenty fifth-anniversary controller arrive someday in 2026.
