Dapper 20th Anniversary Xbox Gear
As a gaming, tech and lifestyle website how could I not mention the fashion side of things? Be sure to check out the Xbox Gear Shop on November 15 for new items celebrating all things Xbox. If you happened to miss it Xbox has already introduced some dazzling collaborations with Adidas, Gucci and more!
Updated Membership Badges
The 20-year milestone will also have a few elements of your Xbox dashboard looking sharper. The membership badges that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Live Gold members see on their profile page will be getting a makeover. The old badges which showcase how long you have been a member of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Live Gold will be replaced with a colorful new badge. No other changes are being made to the membership badges aside from the artwork, so the number shown on your badge will still be determined the same way as it is today. The new colorful versions of the membership badges will start rolling out in the next week, leading into the November 15 celebration.
