We're fast approaching the 25th anniversary of Xbox (look out for it November 2026!), and over the past couple of decades, the brand has racked up millions of fans who have spent thousands on consoles, games and more.

It might be a fairly short history all things considered, but so much has happened in that time. Each of the original Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S eras have come with their own ups and downs, from major successes like the release of Halo and the glory days of the Xbox 360 library, to the Red Ring of Death and the botched Xbox One launch.

Gamepass. My first xbox was series x. It was fun while it lasted until they forced full screen ads. Sold the xbox a couple days later and sold my xbox account since it still has a gamepass subs. Bought a PS5 a while later. I cant stand ads, it ruins everything. The moment sony introduced ads, im going back to PC.
