Xbox Celebrates Super Bowl LVII with a Week Full of Activities, Community Engagement, and Fun

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2023/02...-bowl-with-week-full-of-community-engagement/
Here at Xbox, we love sports just about as much as we love video games. In commemoration of Super Bowl LVII, Xbox partnered with Enthusiast Gaming, TurboTax, EA Sports, Nike, and the Arizona Cardinals to celebrate the gaming and the sports community.

As part of these activities, Xbox joined with Enthusiast Gaming on the season finale of NFL Tuesday Night Gaming during their All-Star Game to reveal that Madden NFL 23 is coming to The Play list on February 9.

Xbox is committed to amplifying representation in sports and gaming. On February 8, Microsoft, Nike, EA Sports, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and the Arizona Cardinals joined forces with the Phoenix Union School District at Camelback high school to host “Field the Future,” a community event focused on inspiring local youth around their shared love of football. In all, it was an exciting week full of activities, community engagement, and fun. Learn more about all the week’s activities below.

Xbox and TurboTax join Enthusiast Gaming for NFL Tuesday Night Gaming All-Star Game


NFL Tuesday Night Gaming All-Star Game Asset

NFL Tuesday Night Gaming (NFL TNG) is the only place to watch popular gaming content creators and NFL stars from all 32 NFL teams compete live in your favorite video games. NFL TNG was created in partnership between the National Football League and Enthusiast Gaming to attract younger audiences to the NFL by connecting the worlds of gaming and sports. Featuring epic Madden NFL show matches, nail-biting Fortnite battles, obstacle course chaos in Fall Guys, acrobatic game-winning goals in Rocket League, and more!

Earlier this week, fan favorite talent from season one competed in a series of epic live matchups (you can see an archive of the livestream even here). As presenting sponsors of the All-Star Game, Xbox and TurboTax were on hand with the Xbox Series X and Series S, announcing that Madden NFL 23 will be available in The Play list for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members starting on February 9.

Also, starting on January 31, be on the lookout for TurboTax banner ads on Xbox for a chance to win exclusive prize packages including custom Madden NFL 23 Xbox Series X|S consoles and more!

Xbox also dropped the price of Madden 23 individually outside of GP, from $60 to $17.99 on Xbox One, and $70 to $20.99 on Series consoles if you don't want to use gamepass.

Apparently Xbox is going to have NFL players host and compete in gaming streams? That's interesting to say the least.

So this is what Xbox was rumored to have planned for February last month.
