It was incredible to join our fans in the celebrations at Comic Con Experience (CCXP23) in Brazil last week. Xbox became part of the largest pop culture event in Latin America for the first time ever, alongside big brands from movies, television series and animations, and helping to show fans how gaming is becoming a part of the entertainment industry as a whole.
We sit in the middle of a show that is about TV and movies, and yet we see Halo (TV Show), we see Fallout (TV Show), we see things that come from video games now going into movies.

CEO of Microsoft Gaming, Phil Spencer, welcomed the fans at FanFest – in a booth spanning over 1,000 square meters – helping to reveal games news and updates, offering a first glimpse at the Fallout TV show, and much more.
“One of the things that is really special to me about CCXP this year is that this was the first time, anywhere, where our booth has our Xbox Games Studios games, our Bethesda games and our Activision Blizzard King games—all in one booth”, said Spencer on the main stage of CCXP.

We welcomed 300 of our passionate fans to CCXP, who were greeted by Phil Spencer, Melina Juergens, our Senua actress from the Hellblade series, and Pablo Schreiber, who gave life to the iconic Master Chief in the Halo TV show – and is coming back for season 2.
Fallout
During his panel at CCXP23, Phil Spencer brought up the fact that Fallout 76 is about to receive its next major expansion – Atlantic City – with the first content, Boardwalk Paradise arriving on December 5. He provided players with a sneak peek of what to expect in this new explorable area with new expeditions and enemy groups, casinos and fresh dangers to overcome.
Fallout fans were in for a surprise with the premiere of the teaser trailer for the Fallout live-action TV show, produced in partnership with Amazon Prime. Fans were thrilled to see the first glimpse of the post-apocalyptic Wasteland coming to life on the big screen. Fallout premiers on Amazon Prime on April 12, 2024.
I was blown away (by the Fallout TV Show trailer). I think they have done an awesome job capturing both the brutality of the Fallout universe as well as the humor and kind of melancholy in a special way.

Starfield
The epic new RPG from Bethesda Game Studios has been a special game for Xbox in 2023 – and for Phil Spencer. That’s why he was excited to reveal that Starfield now has over 12 million players, taking a place in the top 10 most-played games from Xbox’s studios.
Our goal is for Starfield to be a massive hit and for people to continue playing even 12 years later, like Skyrim.
