[QUOTE="Admin, post: 61073, member: 1"] Microsoft has taken over the LED display of Las Vegas' gargantuan Sphere arena to create an Xbox-themed light show that dominated the city skyline. The Las Vegas Sphere has contributed its fair share of viral moments since its inaugural show in July, during which it illuminated its 580,000 square foot ‘Exosphere’ with a spectacular light show. Since then, Earth’s mightiest billboard has manifested a plethora of spectacles to amaze and annoy the residents of the Nevada metropolis. Among the visual offering has been a menacing pumpkin, a spectacular fireworks show, a basketball, and, of course, a vast and unsettling human eye. The interior meanwhile is capable of seating close to 20,000 people, and is designed to host live musical performances and intense audiovisual shows. Earlier this week, Microsoft became the latest company to harness the awesome advertising power of the Sphere to execute an Xbox publicity stunt of epic proportions, which showcased a range of existing and upcoming first and third-party titles, along with its Series X|S consoles. Both [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/starfield']Starfield[/URL], and [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/forza-motorsport']Forza Motorsport[/URL] featured prominently on the Exosphere display, as did [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/senuas-saga-hellblade-ii']Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2[/URL], and [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/cyberpunk-2077']CD Projekt’s Cyberpunk 2077[/URL].
