I don’t know what’s happening on Sunday.
I don’t know what they’ll show.
But that artwork it REEKS of OG XBOX. It screams HALO and it feels like a love letter to an era that defined a generation.
Maybe I’m reading too much into it… but it feels like XBOX knows exactly what it’s doing.
Sunday can’t come soon enough. 💚🔥
#XBOX #XBOXShowcase
On June 7, the Xbox FanFest Tour kicks off in Los Angeles – a truly awesome moment for the community.
Wishing all participants an amazing time, and I’m excited to see who from the German Xbox community manages to pull a ticket for Cologne this year. #XboxFanfest#Xbox#XboxShare

This message is written on behalf of many German and European Xbox creators I’ve spoken with. Under the new Xbox leadership and the New Spirit, we are genuinely hopeful for real change.
However, it is still extremely difficult for us to get game codes, early previews, event invites or just getting noticed. There is no direct contact to local Xbox teams — everything routes through third-party agencies.
This creates endless back-and-forth: agencies refer us to the US Xbox team, the US team sends us back because we’re not American, and eventually the 3rd party agencies reject us with generic excuses that they “can’t help”. Many talented creators have already given up trying to get in contact with Team Xbox.
This loop directly results in significantly less high-quality Xbox-focused content in one of Europe’s biggest markets. If Xbox truly wants to grow in Germany or Europe under this New Spirit, the local creator scene needs proper support: direct communication channels, fair access, and real investment in the region. We believe in the New Spirit and want to create great Xbox content with you. Please help us help Xbox succeed here.
Sorry for the longer post — this is written in close consultation with many European creators. We’re all very aware that most of our channels aren’t as big as US-based ones yet, but that’s exactly the classic chicken-and-egg problem. Many of us also know Xbox would prefer content in local languages, but gaming connects people across Europe and the world — which is why so many European creators run their channels in English. Having a Europe based channel in English should not be a reason to prevent contact with the local Xbox team.
