Dwayne „The Rock” Johnson Will Celebrate Xbox's 20th Birthday

On the occasion of the upcoming 20th birthday of Xbox, the company has invited a well-known actor to collaborate. The event will be attended by Dwayne „The Rock” Johnson.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  • We know who will participate in the Xbox Birthday stream;
  • During the broadcast we will see Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson;
  • It will be his return to cooperation with the brand after 20 years.

As hard as it may be to believe, it's been almost 20 years since the first Xbox was unveiled. On November 15, 2001, Bill Gates took the stage and, accompanied by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, convinced gamers that they were dealing with a revolutionary design. In the following years, we witnessed the launches of successive generations of Xbox, which, with varying degrees of luck, attempted to conquer the hearts of users around the world.

The upcoming Xbox birthday is the perfect opportunity to celebrate. The company intends to organize a special stream, during which it will celebrate the history of the brand. The event will be attended by special guests, led by, returning after years of absence, Dwayne Johnson.

The information was revealed on Twitter by the UK branch of Xbox. It also published a short video, in which the actor encourages players to attend the event. He will also be a part of the event, which is a very interesting move, taking into account his caree path. In 2001, he was hardly such recognizable person as today (outside the U.S., of course). At that time he was just starting his acting career - now he is one of the biggest show-biz stars.

Interestingly, the short footage suggests that Xbox will be working not only with Johnson, but also Netflix to celebrate its birthday. The video reveals that the event will be linked to the promotion action of Red Note, in which Johnson plays one of the main roles. So, it is possible that other stars connected with the movie will appear during the transmission.

However, we will know that in a few days. The birthday stream will take place on November 15 at 10:00 am PT.
