so my so so so so so so so so wow shhh so so uh just me so so foreign so uh hmm so so the 20-year anniversary of xbox and halo sparks a lot of memories for me i grew up in trinidad and tobago and in high school i ran an after-school video game club one day a friend invited us over to play this game i've never heard of called halo it was love at first shot hang him high with the halo 1 pistol all this a week before the launch of halo 2. me and the other members of the game club ran tournaments to raise money so that we could get our own xbox and copies of halo 2. rumble pit and team skirmish were my jam these formative experiences led me to directing and producing halo broadcasts for major league gaming where i met my wife we eventually moved to seattle where i ended up getting a job here working on the halo esports program and now we have a free girl who i just know is going to be a halo pro it's not an exaggeration to say that if it weren't for halo i'd probably be back on the islands working as an engineer and having way less fun it's been a while 20 year ride and i'm excited for what comes next hello my name is hyen zhang and i am the chief of staff for xbox games have helped shape the course of my life as a shy and nerdy teenager i went from simple ms-dos games like hangman and decathlon to play favorites like king's quest and warcraft games inspired me to code small programs of my own and eventually to study both computer science and design and today i love sharing the joy of gaming with my six-year-old daughter piper she's already finished three console games on her own and i've loved seeing her get caught up in the visuals and music of the artful escape and learn to read with lost words my own work has taught me how play can be a powerful force for social good i was asked to help children with cystic fibrosis to make their daily physiotherapy a more enjoyable experience and in the course of my visits with a family in cornwall england i saw that they all loved to play games together my team and i turned a cystic fibrosis therapy device into a controller for a video game and it was amazing to see how play time could be transformed into healthcare treatment helping to alleviate their pain and boredom and allow these kids to engage in new experiences we are still scratching the surface of how games can change the world but when i think of how far we've come in the past 20 years i am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead in the next 20. thank you i joined xbox during the 360 era since 2007 i've been a part of producing and supporting many of the xbox events that you will see footage of today i'm the lead for xbox fan fest and i'm so passionate about the program because it's all about bringing joy to you the fans especially when we get to celebrate a moment together that's as exciting as xbox's 20th anniversary there's always something special about bringing fans together from around the world through the power of gaming while bringing xbox fan fest to digital in the past year has been amazing we can't wait to see you again in person nothing beats that face-to-face connection with the fans from the greatest community on the planet gaming has really empowered me to just want to explore the world by ways of meeting new people for gaming i met some other incredible gamers out there that are basically family to me today gaming it's allowed us to stay connected through gaming i've been able to keep in touch with my friends all over the world i'm looking forward to taking my gaming generation to generation there are no quarters in gaming it's one big community and everyone is welcome xbox allows you to run your horizons and i think that's a really amazing thing and uh yeah thank you xbox i really mean it thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you bye at xbox our passion is to help you find and play the games that you love you know i love the art form of video games i think we tell stories that bring people together whether it's competing or whether it's cooperative this is just what gaming should be about wow after all of this time it's special to be back here with xbox fans around the world i mean just look at this stage that alone shows you how far we've all come since 2001. my name is robbie bach and i had the privilege of being in charge of xbox until i retired from microsoft in 2010.

now when we started xbox 20 years ago the original idea was a business venture a way for microsoft to get into the living room but as we assembled our team and got to work xbox quickly blossomed into a new vision for what games could be an ethernet port to connect players over the internet at broadband speeds a built-in hard drive to help games evolve beyond the limitations of discs and cartridges a global dedicated online service to let you play with old and new friends alike no matter where they are these were audacious groundbreaking ideas at the time but they were also risky we faced skeptics and doubters i'll be honest and say inside and outside of microsoft we had missteps along the way there were lots of challenges involved in getting that first xbox out the door in a way that was true to our vision so when i think about what it took to bring xbox to life i always remember that success was not guaranteed and it was your passion for what xbox is that transformed that vision into reality a vision only comes to life when others share a belief in what's possible and for that we are grateful to all of you our partners developers around the world and most of all our fans microsoft is going to make a game console we weren't sure how we were going to do it risk was enormous microsoft was this dominant company of the era but success or even survival was anything but preordained we started to ship quality games and at the same time we weren't doing anything in the console space one day these guys from the directx team walked in we just thought of ourselves kind of that rebels of a weird combination of craziness and genius we were a renegade team a lot of our thinking was focused on making the very best games that really meant something for us we wanted to make a console design to be easy and fun to make games on we were trying to crash meetings and get traction on this thing we're an annoyance you're proposing taking money away from office in order to fund some game system balmer understood where the money came from steve looked at the xbox idea and saw insanity wait just one minute before you answer what's the hard drive gonna cost what's the ethernet port gonna cost there's no weight everything about making a console is hard we made this little device and it was held together by chewing gum and pace it doesn't turn on it became clear that there was just some really big challenges for us the duke wasn't a small controller you had to have gorilla hands to work with this thing it doesn't matter what your technology is if you don't have the games we were done they had this new thing called halo forza was built as an epic racing game gears of war was appealing to a hardcore gamer we were focused on having all of our games prepped for e3 and you're always just one catastrophic bug away from not making it what's going on the red ring of doubt microsoft brand is on the line the microsoft names on the line it's insane to launch a game console when you're microsoft you made freaking windows in a spreadsheet it was chaotic chaos total chaos our goal is to continue to innovate across all platforms bridge the gap between traditional and cloud-based games and then sometimes there's surprises that come out of nowhere we are no longer in the microsoft playbook power on the story of xbox is a six-part documentary series that release on december 13th across a variety of video platforms so the project began almost three years ago with a simple question is there a compelling story behind the history of xbox the answer it turns out was yes absolutely so we partnered with an emmy award-winning documentary film team to really dig in and help bring the story to life at its core it's a story about how xbox started as a passion project from a small group of gamers within microsoft and grew to become a source of joy for xbox players around the world whether you've been here for the entire 20 years or you have just joined us we're excited to have you with us today now we're gonna relive some of our favorite moments hear some words of wisdom from our very own phil spencer and definitely have a little bit of fun well thanks

certainly revolutionized the technology we know today wow rock that is impressive so for the first time let me now unveil xbox i think this is going to be looked back on the golden age hi everyone i'm phil spencer known on xbox as p3 i've been playing video games pretty much my whole life i actually joined this company as an intern but i was still in school a long time before xbox was even a concept so when i think about 20 years of xbox and what games mean to all of us i always come back to the fact that around the world gaming is all about people that's it games are all about real people coming together to create experiences and relationships that cross geographies and cultures and age and all the things that can separate people in other parts of life personally i've been fortunate to see that power of gaming to connect people in a few ways at work the best part of my job is spending time with the ridiculously talented teams both here at xbox and across our industry you gaming creators around the world are at the forefront of the world's most exciting art form but the reality is that as an industry none of our work comes to life until it's enjoyed by our players you the global gaming community are a powerful force and it is you've made our passion as popular and important as it is today pretty much every day when i'm off work i'm on xbox i'm chatting with friends we're driving jeeps off cliffs in forza i'm trying new games in game pass this is where we live and we've all seen how important and real those human relationships can be especially in the face of real life adversity so when i think about 20 years of xbox i think about you our community and our creators and i want you to know that i'm dedicated team xbox is dedicated and this company is dedicated to continuing to invest listen and learn as we build the best most welcoming and most fun entertainment ecosystem anywhere on earth and beyond at xbox we're on a mission to bring the joy and
