Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has revealed a fresh batch of Xbox 25th anniversary in-game items, spanning Minecraft, Forza Horizon 6, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Halo: Campaign Evolved, Gears of War: E-Day and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. She shared them on X this evening, 12 November 2026, with a short video showing each item against a green Xbox 25 backdrop.
The announcement came in an X post from Asha Sharma at 6:00pm UK time, three days before Xbox turns 25 on 15 November.
XBOX is home to some of the most iconic franchises in gaming. We’re continuing to celebrate with new anniversary items across Forza, Gears, Minecraft, Flight Simulator and more.

Six games, plenty of green
The post itself names Forza, Gears, Minecraft and Flight Simulator, then adds “and more”. The 25-second video fills in the rest: Halo: Campaign Evolved and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 appear only in the video, not in the text of the post. Here’s what’s on screen, in order, using the official item names:
- Minecraft – OG Green Character Creator Item: a bright green, slightly translucent Minecraft character.
- Forza Horizon 6 – GR GT Anniversary Livery: a dark green sports car with neon-green pinstriping and a big 25 on the door.
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 – XBOX Anniversary Livery: a twin-engine passenger jet with a white fuselage, XBOX in green, and green tail, engines and wingtips.
- Halo: Campaign Evolved – Damascus Prototype Armor Style: an olive-green Spartan.
- Gears of War: E-Day – XBOX Anniversary Weapon Skin Set: shown on a Lancer with a metallic green finish and glowing green accents.
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 – Inner Circuit M4 Blueprint: a black and green M4 covered in glowing neon-green circuit-board lines, with a small green Xbox sphere on the magazine.
The Flight Simulator livery is a separate item from the Halo Pelican that Xbox Wire announced on 10 November, so don’t mix the two up.
No dates or claim details yet
That’s the catch. Asha’s post and video show the items, but the video gives no dates, prices or claim method, and the post doesn’t explain how to get them either. There’s no word on whether they’re free, whether they’re available now, or how you unlock them in each game. We haven’t found an Xbox Wire post or other official breakdown for this drop yet, so we’ll update this piece if Xbox or the studios share how to grab them.
