In case you didn't know, yesterday (September 12) marked National Video Game Day in the United States, and there were lots of unique celebrations taking place on social media throughout the day as a result.
Xbox's contribution came in the form of an inclusive tweet highlighting not only the Xbox platform, but also Nintendo and PlayStation, going on to rack up over 28,000 likes and 4,500 retweets:
The Xbox account was busy in the replies too, responding to fans showing pictures of their setups, and even getting involved in a humorous exchange with the Skittles team who asked to be included in the festivities.
It's great to see Xbox continuing to champion the idea of "the best setups make room for everyone", and clearly that belief is shared by a wide portion of the Xbox audience and beyond. Another great move from the social media team!
How did you celebrate National Video Game Day (if at all) this past Sunday? Let us know down below.

That Switch placed there without a dock looks so dumb
That kind of details kinda ruins the PR moment.
@Kamalen could be on the kickstand?
@CrazyJF that's not the point of the photo. they wanted to show the Switch not an actual gaming setups and it looks much better that it would with the stand
Jesus, people are seriously analysing a picture just so they can find something to argue about. Xbox should just buy everything they can bomb the crap out of the competition. It's nice to be the nice guys but in a room full of *****, it just ain't gonna fly
My take away from that photo is how big the PS5 and Series X look. Yes I know the PS5 is laughably big but for some reason the Series X looks massive too. Mine don't seem anywhere near that size! Think its a small TV they have there!
@Kamalen @CrazyJF Lol you guys being hyper-critical about the placement of the Switch undocked in the photo are hilarious! Guess what? The phone is standing vertically too! How could you not see that?!?!?!?! Er muh gerd! You both fail!...
Who cares? They wanted to actually display the 5 gaming devices so you can clearly see them. Docking the Switch hides it, and having a fully functional entertainment center is not the purpose of this post whatsoever, so quit being silly.
It’s nice to see this harmony. We are all gamers no need to ‘hate’ on the other sides. If anything opening yourself to other consoles will benefit you more. But you know the few usuals on here will go into meltdown mode. It’s a shame because restricting yourself to just one place(then again I understand if money is the problem) just makes you miss out on gems from the big 3.
Wait why nobody told me about the national video games day? This would be a perfect excuse to spend all day playing games
Obviously they used stock photos because the PS5 is impossible to find, as is the Xbox Series X, and at times, the Switch.
Shocked they didn't include the Series S as well, but they sided with parity, which I like.
If yesterday was National Video Game Day, shouldn't we have off today to observe the holiday??
I call favoritism. Where's Playdate and Atari VCS?
@Kamalen @CrazyJF How dare an image show a Nintendo handheld off the charger! Next thing you know Samsung will start showing phones without the coiled cord to the wall!
