Microsoft will bring FanFest to Sydney as part of 25th Anniversary tour

Microsoft has had a rough couple of years with Xbox, but with a change of leadership and refocusing on the Xbox brand – they’re bringing back Xbox FanFest as a tour with an event scheduled for Sydney later this year.

It’s part of the 25th anniversary of Xbox, with Microsoft setting FanFest events for Sydney as well as Cologne (Germany), London (UK), Mexico City (Mexico), Seattle (USA). Tokyo (Japan), and Toronto (Canada). 

What we’ll see at the event hasn’t been announced, though Microsoft has said that ‘Each FanFest event will be unique to the location’. 

Previously Microsoft has run trivia and gaming competitions with prizes up for grabs at FanFest, as well as including photo ops like the giant 10 foot Grounded 2 plush ant which showed up at the Xbox FanFest at GamesCom last year.

There will be more details on the individual FanFest events, with Microsoft launching a microsite to register your interest, as well as enter a competition to attend the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase event in Los Angeles which will air at 3am AEST on June 8th.
