Xbox 25th-Anniversary Year Will Be "Really Special," Phil Spencer Says
Briefly

Next year marks the 25th anniversary of the original Xbox. While Microsoft hasn't announced specific plans for the celebration, Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Gaming, hinted that 2026 will be significant for Xbox fans, showcasing beloved franchises such as Fable, Gears, and Forza. Expected new releases include Gears of War: E-Day, though the future of Halo during this anniversary remains uncertain. Microsoft's decision to release popular titles on PlayStation has led to both acclaim and commercial success. Details about the anniversary celebrations will likely be unveiled prior to November 15, 2026, the actual anniversary date.
"When you think about Fable, when you think about Gears, when you think about Forza, I mean, these are franchises that have been really part of what makes Xbox what it is today," said Spencer.
"I think it's going to be a really special year for Xbox next year," Spencer noted about the upcoming anniversary and returning franchises.
