Xbox Reports
- The Road to Summer Begins -
This month of May will symbolize our opening salvo to start the Road to Summer. We're already off to a great start as the first half of 2019 has been very kind and prosperous for us here in the Xbox community. Accomplishments such as the Kountdown to Kombat, our Minecraft anniversary, the launch of the Division 2 clan, increased support of the Halo: Master Chief Collection, and the restructuring of our events have marked our journey so far this year. It is important we remain vigilant and not become complacent. We always want to improve the experience and come up with new ideas to keep folks connected and engaged.
Our Game Nights this month will help us set the foundation for the Summer months. We have plenty of returning community favorites and old classics to play together in. Plus new Game Night series will also be featured in May. This will also lead into June and our Summer games. We have lots of things planned so stay tuned for any future announcements.
For now in May, here are just a few things you should expect this month:
Overwatch Three Year Anniversary Special Event [May 25th at 6pm EST with host WookieJedi] - Celebrate the longest running Game Night series in the Xbox community with tons of custom games and online matches to observe this momentous occasion. Last year we did a 16 hour marathon to celebrate the two year anniversary...what sort of crazy plans will Wookie come up with this time?
Division 2 Raid Preparation [May 11th at 7:30pm EST] - For our upcoming Game Night on Division 2 we will be working to get as many folks who still need help into the endgame and prepare for the Raid, which is expected to release during the Summer. Great opportunity for people to level up and we'll make sure we help out anyone regardless of rank during the session.
#BeMorePirate [Sea of Thieves Game Night series] - In observance of the Sea of Thieves Anniversary update, we will be organizing a series of Game Nights where we'll be putting on our mean pirate faces and setting sail for the high seas. The pirates life is for us and the pirates life is good!
Halo [MCC & Halo Wars 2] - Similar to April, we're going to mix it up a bit this month when it comes to our Game Nights for Halo. While Master Chief Collection remains our primary Halo title we support, we'll be adding in some extra variety to the rotation. Halo Wars 2, an RTS available on the Game Pass, as a result will be returning as an event. You can get your RTS and Halo fix all in one! For a complete overview of what is to come, check out our monthly outline below.
- May 2019 Outline -
