Really refreshing to see their honesty in an industry that’s usually so secretive.

You could put this on TV and even non-gamers would probably still find it fascinating

I wish the game industry made more docs like this. I love that Microsoft was willing to poke fun at their missteps. Playing my series X today it’s crazy to think how many things had to align in order to get to today.

They have been exceptionally honest about their mistakes throughout this series of videos. I’m very surprised and impressed.

I love these kind of behind the scenes looks at things, especially when they show warts and all. It's crazy how many things nearly torpedoed the whole effort form the start.

Thank you Direct X Team and Microsoft for having the foresight to jump into gaming...... respect 👊!!

Love Xbox congrats on 20 years

I remember unboxing the original Xbox like it was yesterday. I can definitely appreciate the level of fun Xbox and hard times Xbox got me through.

That was awesome to hear this story from the guys who made this legendary console

Have to say, this first chapter was much better than I thought it was going to be, hopefully the rest are equally as awesome!

I've been there since day one and it's so nice to see how it all started from inside!

wow. As someone who has been an Xbox gamer since the OG Xbox launch, I have to say that this doc brings back so many memories for me. So great to see behind the scenes.

The amount of risk put into the Original Xbox.

31:00 I got chills when they mentioned Bill Gate's reaction to the prototype boot in 4 seconds. Can't imagine what it must of felt like to now get his attention.

Crazy how old this footage looks and it’s only 20 years ago 😅🤯 Amazing how fast technology changes!

Been with Xbox since Day 1. Even through 2 Xbox 360s with the dreaded Red Ring. Just got my XSX 2 weeks ago and Loving it. Uncle Phil got this in the bag. Glad to still be with you guys. 🤘🏻✊🏻

I love how they just randomly included Snoop Dogg in this documentary lol.

This whole documentary makes me appreciate Xbox so much more than i ever have.

What an incredible journey for Xbox. Wow.

Every day I’m thankful these guys created Xbox, it created so many memories and friendships with people I never met. I pray Xbox will be around even the day I’m an old man so I can one day look back my old achievements and friends list and remember all the good times. Video games were and always will be an important part of my life.

Excellent documentary charting the birth of an icon, also surprising and refreshingly honest about some of the attitudes, approaches, and mistakes at the time. Looking forward to seeing the rest!

I love you Xbox, Thankyou for allowing me to have the best times, Meet extraordinary people and to be part of the best community

Kind of surreal seeing how much of their original ideas from the start are here now and stronger than ever in the present day. I guess we will see what happened that Don Mattrick changed the direction the way he did but....it seems clear as day now that Phil really did do his part(as did others) to get the current ship to align with the original. Can't wait to watch the rest of these.

I think DirectX were among of the best team at Microsoft, I was reading about it since I was at college studying computer science, kudos to all these brilliant minds who brought joy to our life, I love you all.

I loved my original xbox. I still have it, I just can't bring myself to throw it out.

Joder, te amo xbox, nunca te desaparezcas por favor

These are the types of documentaries that always stand out. The ones where you feel like you were there every step of the way. The ones that take memories of the mass public and fill in the gaps.

goddamit it feels so intense and so full of details that I felt like part of the team good job on this amazing video, it got me hooked every second

I love you Xbox 💚 I’ve been there since the beginning. Thank you for allowing me to join you on this journey. Thank you for fighting so hard for gamers. Thank you for fighting so hard for dreams.

Listo para disfrutar el primer episodio🔥 Te quiero mucho XBOX

The production levels of this docu are impressive, also very informative and entertaining!!!

incredible documentary series and very impressed with what msft was able to pull off. its not easy.

Great docu left me wanting more,its crazy when u compare what happened then to whats happening now and the games they released

It’s honestly pretty impressive how Microsoft was able to force itself into the gaming industry.

Increíble historia de como empezó todo, sin esos genios está gran comunidad jamás hubiera existido, gracias por todo, por entregar la mejor consola de todas.

That brought back so many good memories! What an honest and fun documentary.

This was made so well ❤️ shows some true depth to the birth of Xbox ❤️

Production team on this did an outstanding job. Props to the audio guys as well...the score really gets you in the mood.

I wish more companies were as transparent as you guys. Absolutely fantastic doc series, hopefully it inspires similar ones from the rest of the industry.

This series won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Single Camera Editing.

Imagine how different it would be if halo wasn’t made edit:why did I get 188 likes

Wow, what an amazing first episode!! I can't wait to watch the rest of this. Truly, thank you for doing this and for the behind-the-scenes stories of all this.

Amazing ❤️and so grateful 😇 to be part of this journey

Yesss! So interesting to see the backstory behind xbox. I still have my original xbox, and its still going strong! Its a 1.6 without the clock capacitor

Просто потрясающий фильм.Спасибо за русские субтитры.

this honestly one of the best documentaries ive ever seen

The drawings/animations on this are great, really add value. Enjoying this so far

I’m amazed with the transparency here and admission to their failures. Awesome stuff Xbox! Now where’s the physical version of Psychonauts 2!?

Very interesting and surprising to find such raw honesty in that video. I did not expect that. Can't wait to watch the next episode!

Steve Ballmer never had the vision that Microsoft needed, he's a great showman by the way, but that's it. Until there comes his contribution to the company.

Thank you very much for big amount of language support for this awesome documentary. 💚

I really love this actually, it's a great way of celebrating the last twenty years and championing the small team that made all of this possible. Kudos to all involved, it's great to see the honesty and transparency you've displayed in telling this story!

I imagine they just hit upload on all the 6 videos at once and it all got uploaded in random orders lol

Ok back for round two !

Amazing Documentary! Many thanks to the DirectX team! 💚

I still remember the Christmas I received the first Xbox and truly was the beginning of my love for xbox and video games. Even through the red rings on the 360s and watching the first chapter made me even more appreciative of the role xbox payed in my life ! Congrats on the 20 years and thank you for the ride!

i love the battle animation in this documentary so funny

I remember growing up, all my friends had the ps2. i wanted to be different so i went with the original xbox. and it did not disappoint. playing games like nfl fever, halo, advent rising. awesome days. and i could burn music to my hard drive. unheard of at the time.

So many years and i still love Xbox 💚💚💚💚💚 congratulations 🍻🍻👑💚😎✌🏼

I've been with xbox since the original big old xbox... I still have one connected to my tv today.

Genuinely I feel so lucky to have been growing up when XBOX360 hit the market for the first time. The first time I ever played online with other people it absolutely blew my mind. The first game I ever played online was Gears of War and that was only campaign. I remember talking to someone from the USA for the first time and he was "explaining" how xbox live worked to me. Granted I was 10-11 at the time so I was eating the experience up like chocolate cake

DirectX makes so much sense now why it’s called the Xbox that’s amazing

Fantastic documentary, really revealing about the XBOX and how it came to be . . . .

엑박의 시작! 잘 봤습니다. 그리고 한글자막까지 넣어 주셔서 고맙습니다. Thank you for Korean subtitles! 그건 그렇고... 시리즈 X 좀 많이 풀어 주세요. 돈이 있어도 살 수가 없어요. ㅠㅡㅜ

My series s arrives in an hour woooo

Excellent documentary! Wow, I remember working all year to earn enough money to grab the original Xbox at launch. All those hours playing Halo, Oddworld, KOTOR, and so many other games with friends into the early hours of the morning. Here I am now in my 30's watching Microsoft blast off into the next generation still happily gaming. Thanks for all of the memories!

I have three consoles of Xbox. Xbox 360. Xbox One X. Xbox Series S.

To be people in Xbox and Marketing responsible for this. Well done.

i appreciate seeing jack tretton in this brings me back my E3 high school days

Awesome first episode with tons of insights! I'm really looking forward to the next chapter!

So many details in this series vid-doc. Gotta give props to everyone involved.

I love Xbox and it's been 20 years of Xbox. Microsoft and Xbox I love you.

Love you Direct X Team! I'm glad I now know how much effort you put into this. Thank you all for giving us such great memories

I am glad you guys put the money into this. Though you may not make much from it, it's an important documentation of Xbox's history-- from challenges, successes, and everything inbetween. Ya'll are awesome and you have done great work ♥️ Love ya'll!

I’ve had all the systems since the original. I’m now 25 thank you for being apart of my childhood growing up Xbox/Direct X Team😃♥️

Words cannot describe how I feel when I watch this, I lived and grew up through all of this. Bought my Original Xbox at 18 and from there it's been nothing but awesome experiences I wouldn't trade for all the $ in the entire world. I owned every console and got my Series-X this past summer and I LOVE IT! ❤

We all know who won but I had chills, I was rooting for the Direct X team so hard in this video.

Thank you very much for making this series.

Not going to lie - this kind of changed my perception on Xbox. Might even buy one.

Absolutely blown away by the candor in this so far. Awesome!

Just got finished with chapter 3 of this doc but I just wanna say I still have my original Xbox and my original 360 thankfully mine didn’t get the red ring lol but while watching these docs it really opened my eyes and made me really appreciate the hard work and dedication y’all have and I’m just wanting to say thank you I love you Xbox ❤

Great documentary Xbox Please hire the same crew to make one about Bethesda zenimax joining Xbox and making their legendary franchises #ElderScrolls #Fallout #Doom #Wolfenstein the new flagship Exclusives of the #Xbox Brand and the new face of Xbox

I'm still impressed by how fast my original xbox boots when I push the ON button.

Absolutely entertaining documentary, and very honest. Kudos to MS. Happy to have been around since the beginning too. Love my SXS.

Thanks Seamus, thanks Peter More and always grateful for our beloved and only, Uncle Phil ❤️🙏

Thank you for making this! Always love to see history of our favorite companies.! They have really changed our lifes.! Honestly.! Can't wait to watch the whole series.! 😁😁💙💙

I bought an original Xbox. I remember getting Halo. Gotham racing. NFL fever. Fusion frenzy 😊

Feels like direct x box team were a 4 player team of gamers just going through the challenging bosses until they reached their goal 😆

This thing feels really intense and I Love It! Make more I want to see things like this on games too and more things

Nice work guys! I love watching history of how tech has evolved.

I’m not an Xbox player but I am loving this series. I have to commend all the work that has gone into getting this far 👏

Watching this on my xbox series s in my bedroom.

were it not for you guys PS2 would be my first console. Ups and downs over 20 years i never looked back.

DIOS MIO! ...se nota mucho cariño que le pusieron al documental... y de ñapa, GRATIS jajajaja.! BRUTAL XBOX. muchas gracias por compartir esto con todo el mundo.

Superb. Loved every second of this. Cant wait for the next chapter.

i love the fight explanation.

Quite an interesting doc, but these animations and some direction&editing choices are very funny in an unintended way.

Fantastic Documentary!! Worth it to anybody that likes games/computers/tech in general. The first xbox was so amazing! Loved ripping cd's to the hard drive and having games even interact and control the music like Need For Speed.

Nothing but Xbox for me since the OG, and Xbox until I die!! So in love with my series X. I can’t ever imagine converting over to anything else

Thanks to the DIRECT X team with their work and dedication, we have the best platform for gaming and entertainment in the world today, the XBOX !! Congratulations to the entire team from its beginning to the present day you are amazing !!!!
