As many can gather from how vocal Microsoft continues to be with its followers, 2021 is the anniversary for Xbox. That alongside Halo as well – i.e. the special edition Halo Infinite Xbox Series X release date – Microsoft plans to celebrate this anniversary throughout the course of this year. The firm already confirmed several announcement will be taking place leading to this November.
So far, we saw the announcement for a throwback series in collaboration with Adidas for a special edition Adidas Forum Tech with a trailer that emphasizes on the era of the early 2000s. Additionally, Microsoft revealed a legacy Xbox Series controller and matching headset is also underway for release this fall as well. Not to mention the new and upcoming Xbox Series X mini fridge that opened and sold out pre-orders on Tuesday.
From Microsoft, the Xbox company announces it will be hosting an Xbox Anniversary Celebration livestream on its birthday, November 15th next month.
Over the past two decades, the Xbox community has made gaming a place of joy, inspiration, education, and social connection. Games build bridges and forge bonds between friends and family, as well as give people new ways to connect.
We invite you to join us on Nov. 15 to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Xbox and Halo with a fun, digital broadcast for fans around the globe. While we won’t announce any new games, this anniversary broadcast will be a special look back at 20 years of Xbox.

Elsewhere in terms of Microsoft, the Xbox firm is likely to face the most success it’s made in the Japanese market. According to a finding recently, the Xbox Series X|S is close to overtaking 100K sold units in the region. At the moment, it has reached 91,000 consoles sold. However, it is possible that achievement will be met come November next month potentially.
In a separate report from True Achievements, Microsoft is allegedly planning to ship more backwards compatible titles for its platform. The firm has been on a hiatus for more legacy support since mid 2019 in preparation of the new console generation and that is appearing to end later this fall.
