Microsoft launched a "25 Years of Xbox" digital bundle priced at $570, containing 25 games and several multi-game collections. The bundle works out to roughly $23 per game, though many titles are bundles themselves. Halo: The Master Chief Collection includes Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, and Halo 4. The bundle also includes Gears of War and Age of Empires collections. Games span Xbox and PC platforms, with availability varying by title. Many games in the bundle are already available on Xbox Game Pass.
Microsoft introduced the bundle ahead of 2026, marking Xbox's 25th anniversary. The year has proved difficult for the Xbox brand. In February, Microsoft named Asha Sharma as the new Xbox CEO. She implemented a "reset" involving mass layoffs, studio divestitures, and game cancellations. Sharma stated these moves were necessary because Xbox faced unhealthy financial conditions.
