So glad I was able to be part of the 20 years of play. I still have my original Xbox where it all started!

Congrats on 20 years, Xbox. Here's to 20 more.

Thank you for everything Microsoft. You’ve made my gaming history the best.

I loved the 360 Days 😭 the good times on BO2, Halo 3, Reach, Borderlands, Minecraft 💚

[ExpertAssassn]

I remember being in middle school on the 360 and my mom would tell me to get off when it was "bedtime". Needless to say, I broke that rule pretty often lol. Ill never forget those nights where I would sneak in, take the 360 back to my room and stay up, whispering to my friends and having the best late-night conversations ever. I miss those times and those friends even more.

It's good you guys didn't forget where you came from and that Halo hands down brought you guys this success. I applaud you Microsoft for turning things around when they could've gone so wrong.

This hits hard, as someone that's grown up through the Xbox 360 and Xbox One generation.

So many years. I finally got my Xbox Series X the other night and it's awesome.

I remember giving up my PS2 pre order for this "new Xbox thing".

Guy who ran the shop said I was nuts. Never regretted that decision. 20 years later I'm still playing xbox.

[DrifterChaos]

I still have the original XBOX system, I never got rid of it, I went through many different consoles, and gaming on all platforms, I am so proud of Xbox, here's to another 20 more years!

You may have committed mistakes, you may have done wrongs throughout your history... but that doesn't erase at all those great and fascinating moments that family and friends shared in an Xbox console. Congrats on your 20th Birthday, Xbox. Let's go for another 20!

My dad had an Xbox 360 since before I was born and I grew up playing gears of war and GTA... Not very family friendly but it made my love of gaming

[limenine]

Halo has just always been apart if my life, one of the first games I ever played since my dad has played since CE and I started with halo 3, then Halo Reach came out and my cousins and I played that non stop. We mostly played forge and created all sorts of things and even had fun with halo 5, but I still love the series, thank you xbox

[tanner_spring]

I have only ever owned microsoft consoles and have the best memories with them… From crimson skies to halo 3 and now forza i loved these last 20 years of play and can’t wait for 20 more!

[sirmagnumcat]

Every time I hear the Halo theme I think of Zanny singing it in his halo infinite video.
Off topic: halo infinite was great, so I then downloaded the MCC and have completed Reach and have just finished 343 guilty spark.
Cannot wait to play the rest of the MCC.
Congrats on 20 years, here’s to twenty more!!

From the days of Project Gotham Racing, to Forza Horizon 5, Xbox impacted my life in ways I never thought imaginable back in 2001. Here’s to another 20 years Xbox.

[SeriouslyTechStuff]

It will be 20 years for me on July 30th 2022. Still remember plugging it in and seeing Halo for the first time. Thanks for many years of fun and adventure and bringing us all together with Live.

[blackgoblin]

Halo pulled me in, the first Gears of War made me stay, and Xbox live now keeps me connected wherever I go. Thanks Xbox team!
