<p>Thanks to you, the launch of Xbox Series X|S is now the most successful debut in our history. While we missed the emotional spark of being together with you in person, it was incredible to celebrate a new generation of gaming with the millions on our celebration livestream and everyone who participated in our global launch across 40 countries.</p>
<p>Your support, and what you accomplished in the first 24 hours of launch, inspire us and demonstrate the connective power of play is more important than ever.</p>
<ul>
<li>More new consoles sold than any prior generation, with Xbox Series S adding the highest percentage of new players for any Xbox console at launch</li>
<li>More games played, 3,594 in total, spanning four generations, setting a record for the most games ever played during an Xbox console launch</li>
<li>Next gen means more ways to discover and play, 70 percent of Series X|S consoles are attached to new and existing Xbox Game Pass members</li>
</ul>
<p>As none of this would be possible without great games to play, we also want to thank our development partners around the world and congratulate them on their own respective launches this week, including delivering more than 40 new and Optimized games like <em>Assassin’s Creed Valhalla</em>, <em>Destiny 2: Beyond Light</em>, <em>Dirt 5, The Falconeer, Tetris Effect: Connected, Watch Dogs: Legion</em> and <em>Yakuza: Like a Dragon </em>to players on day one, 30 of which support Smart Delivery.</p>
<p>We know that not everyone was able to get an Xbox Series X|S immediately and are working tirelessly with our partners around the world to bring as many new consoles to as many of you as possible over time and encourage you to check in with your local retailers directly for more details on availability in your market.</p>
<p>Your early reaction and excitement for the next generation of Xbox has us feeling grateful and energized to continue building the future of gaming with you. On the behalf of Team Xbox: Thank you.</p>
