Microsoft is preparing a big celebratory surprise for the 25th anniversary of Xbox. The company has announced a large-scale event by the end of 2026 that will go beyond the usual memories of the brand.
During GDC, Jason Ronald, Xbox\'s Vice President of Next Generation Technology, hinted that fans can expect the return of classic games.
As part of our 25th anniversary celebration later this year, [the game maintenance team] will be releasing some iconic games from years past that can now be played in new ways.
It is reported that the team responsible for old projects and backward compatibility will be involved in this work. Microsoft does not disclose whether these will be new releases as part of backward compatibility or updated versions of already available games, but one thing is clear: retro content will be a key element of the celebration.
