The 25th Anniversary of XBOX has given fans much to celebrate: the milestones, the memories, and a whole slate of fun news for our players.  

We know that many of our longtime fans first learned about the original XBOX by reading about it in a magazine back in the day. For you, we created XBOX – The 25th Anniversary Magazine, a special publication designed not only to look back at 25 years of play, but also to celebrate the present and future of XBOX. We printed copies to share with community members at XBOX FanFest in Seattle this past week, and today, it’s available for all to read right here: 

Protip: you can go full screen for easier reading by clicking the arrows in the lower right of the player.

The magazine explores games, hardware, and moments, past and present, told through the teams who are building them. You’ll revisit memories from your favorite franchises, learn some lore about XBOX’s storied history, and read new details about games that haven’t yet released; want to know more about Fable’s capital city of Bowerstone? Turn to page 38! 

We hope you enjoy this decidedly analog celebration of the last quarter century and a first look at what’s ahead.  XBOX’s story has always been written alongside our players. Thanks for reading, and for being part of what comes next.
