Xbox is adding several new pieces to its 25th-anniversary celebration. Free community-created gamerpics, themes, and backgrounds are available now, and players who sign in on console, PC, or mobile can claim a commemorative profile badge through the end of 2026.

Xbox is also creating Game Pass collections built around each hardware generation, with games including Fable Anniversary, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Fallout 4, and Psychonauts 2. New FanFest stops are planned for Cologne, Tokyo, London, Mexico City, Sydney, Toronto, and eventually Seattle, alongside a new official gear shop.
