As the clock hit midnight, Aussie’s became some of the first in the world to usher in the next generation of gaming with the launch of the Xbox Series X|S.

In celebration, Xbox ANZ transformed Queenstown into ‘Greenstown’. This included the construction of a giant Xbox Series X on Lake Wakitipu, matched with a light show that was projected onto the giant console and green lights that lit up the surrounding Remarkables mountain range.

The story:

• Xbox ANZ took over New Zealand’s Queenstown to create ‘Greenstown’ – as Xbox fans across the Tasman in Australia and New Zealand celebrated the global launch of the most powerful gaming console ever made: the Xbox Series X and the smallest and sleekest Xbox ever, the Xbox Series S.
• In partnership with Xbox ANZ, Fergburger have created three limited edition signature Fergburger products for New Zealand fans to enjoy; including an Xbox Series X Fergburger, Fergbakers Assassin’s Creed Valhalla “Viking Pie” and Mrs Ferg’s Destiny 2: Beyond Light Stasis Gelato. These will be available for ten days, starting from Tuesday 10 November, and anyone who purchases one of these menu items will receive a one-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate voucher.
• Xbox Series X ($749 AUD RRP) and Xbox Series S ($499 AUD RRP) both launch in Australia and New Zealand on November 10. Please check in with your local retailers directly for more details on availability in your area.
