2026 is the 25th anniversary of Xbox, and it’s been a tough year for the brand with mass layoffs, studio closures/divestitures, and game cancellations. But the celebrations are still going ahead, including an event from the Xbox-owned Candy Crush mobile game juggernaut.
Announced today, Candy Crush Saga is marking the Xbox anniversary with a “Game On” season that brings items and elements from Halo, Fallout, Sea of Thieves, Forza, Doom, Banjo-Kazooie, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro into the game through a virtual pin-collection event. Additionally, the popular and recognizable music from some of those games is coming to Candy Crush in “unmistakable Candy style,” developer King said.
