About this listen
In 2001, Microsoft did the unthinkable. They took on Sony, Nintendo, and the entire gaming world with a console no one asked for — and somehow changed everything.
This is the story of the original Xbox — the massive black box with the glowing green heart that redefined gaming forever. From Project Midway to Halo: Combat Evolved, from Bill Gates and The Rock’s surreal reveal to the birth of Xbox Live, this episode rewinds to the launch that transformed living rooms into online battlefields.
Retrowaved: Xbox — How Microsoft Rewired Console Gaming takes you inside the boldest tech gamble of the early 2000s, where a software company crashed the console wars and built the foundation for modern play.
Step back into 2001 — the startup sound, the LAN parties, the green glow that started it all.
