As part of Xbox's ongoing 20th anniversary celebrations, Microsoft sent out surprise gift boxes to randomly selected Xbox fanfest players.

Called the Keepsake Kit, the gift came with a 20 Years of Xbox crystal--a hefty glass block engraved with the recipient's gamertag--as well as a Halo Infinite Limited Edition controller and a year-long subscription to Xbox Gamepass Ultimate.

A note accompanied the package and read, "As thank you for being a part of the 20 years of Xbox, we're gifting you this FanFest 20 Years of Xbox Keepsake Kit. This is a limited-edition kit, created for randomly selected Xbox FanFest fans to commemorate our journey from past, present, and future as an Xbox community."

I’m in total disbelief. I got an amazing package from #xboxfanfest! What a beautiful #giftfromxbox! I teared up and reminisced the days of old and ironically I’m playing Halo CE, my first xbox game. @aarongreenberg @XboxP3 @majornelson @Xbox you have a fan for life. Thank you 🥲 pic.twitter.com/3gxY7ldfkI
