Xbox

Xbox, first launched in 2001, is now on its 4th generation of gaming consoles, with the Xbox Series S | X family debuting in November 2020. After the original Xbox, the Xbox 360 launched in 2005, followed by the Xbox One in 2013.

But Xbox has come to mean far more than just console gaming, with Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Cloud Gaming (code named Project xCloud), Backward Compatibility, and the expansion of Xbox Game Studios, including the acquisition of Zenimax Media (home of Fallout, Doom, Dishonored, and many more).
