| Xbox Celebrates Black Voices and Drives Community Impact During Black History Month and Beyond Posted: 01 Feb 2021 08:00 AM PST At Xbox, we are committed to building the most inclusive community on the planet, where everyone can experience the joy and connection of gaming and bring their authentic selves to the action. In 2021, we will be celebrating Black History Month by offering captivating gaming experiences, highlighting the contributions of influential Black and African American developers and creators, while raising awareness of important causes that matter to Black communities. We believe that small actions from members of the Xbox community can lead to lasting change in the industry, such as speaking up to report and callout racist remarks, learning about Black history and culture, and empowering Black-owned businesses and inclusive creators. By amplifying Black voices, partnering with more Black creators, and continuing to address racial injustice, we strive to contribute to real change in our industry. We are committed to supporting Black audiences across the globe through programs that focus on issues relevant to them. This past June, Team Xbox stood together with the Xbox player community in support of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., Black Lives Matter Support Fund and Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) by collectively donating over $3 million to these crucial causes. This contribution is part of our broader commitment to help take action and address racial injustice. Here are some of the ways we plan to celebrate and elevate Black Communities: Digital Stores – Xbox & Windows: Discover Games, Movies and TV Curated by Black Communities at Microsoft  This February and beyond, we are highlighting collections of games, movies, and TV shows selected by Black communities at Microsoft that bring focus to Black creators, experiences, protagonists, and more. Check out a few highlights from the full games collection featuring creators, protagonists, playable characters, and character creation options: Afterparty – Players enjoyed seeing Lola in this supernatural adventure from creator Adam Hines. Standouts from the full movies and TV collection featuring creators, leads, educational views, and family entertainment include: “Black Panther” – The loss of Chadwick Boseman was tragic, but he remains a guide to an inspiring world where Black, African, and Brown people are equal, part of a respected culture, and leading global innovations. Directed by Ryan Coogler. Xbox Community Game Club Experience The Xbox Community Game Club is a weekly way to play, share, and discuss games together as a community. In celebration of Black History Month, we’re featuring titles and games developed by Black/African American creators and featuring Black/African American characters and voice actors. Check in weekly to discover your new favorite game and use #XboxGameClub to discuss the importance of representation in gaming. Xbox Ambassadors Share Their Stories  Highlighting and amplifying community voices is central to the Xbox Ambassadors mission. So, in celebration of Black History Month, we asked those who identify as Black/African American how games with representation of their identities have impacted them and to share their own stories about being a member of a gaming community. We received hundreds of responses and, with much consideration, selected the following to share. Here are their stories: blog-ambassadors.xbox.com/black-history-month-xbox-ambassadors Xbox Programming to Celebrate Black History Month Xbox will be dedicating our livestreaming content all month long in celebration of Black History Month by featuring Black protagonists in games, developers, content creators and streamers! Follow us at Twitch.tv/Xbox so you don't miss any of the action!

The design was inspired by and building from the NAACP's campaign, "We Are Done Dying," and by the themes of hope and overcoming adversity as a community represented within State of Decay 2. This striking original artwork will be available in two forms to all players and fans: as a free cosmetic item within State of Decay 2, and for purchase as a limited-edition physical T-shirt (coming soon to Xbox Gear Shop) in support of the NAACP. T-shirt sales are only available between February 8 and March 1, 2021. No reprints are planned. Within the game, the digital T-shirt will be automatically added as a free item for all players. Black History Month Nameplate for Halo: The Master Chief Collection  In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, our players can customize their profile with special nameplates commemorating in-game activities or celebrating special events.

With it, players can showcase their pride in their own identities, celebrate Black History Month and continue to drive a culture of inclusion in gaming. Team Xbox stands with the Xbox player community to empower change through captivating and inclusive gaming experiences. It is through these experiences we hope to highlight and celebrate the valuable contributions from Black communities during Black History Month and beyond. Play. Connect.
