Xbox X018 Event Time, Livestreams and Games - Crackdown 3 and More
By Jason Fanelli ·
Xbox is hosting a massive livestream from their X018 event in Mexico City, and we have the times and streams for tuning in for the biggest news and updates.
Microsoft has been trying its hand at the Nintendo Direct format in recent months, its Inside Xbox livestream showcasing upcoming titles a la The Big N. The green brand is doubling down on the format in Mexico City with Inside Xbox’s X018 Special coming November 10 at the time of 4PM Eastern/1PM Pacific, and here’s how you can check out all of the news as it happens.
X018 on Mixer
The most comprehensive experience for the X018 stream will take place on Mixer, which considering Xbox owns the platform that’s no surprise. According to Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb’s blog: “Do you like free stuff as much as we like free stuff? If you watch this special X018 episode of Inside Xbox on Mixer and you’re logged into your Microsoft account, you’ll receive in-game items for Sea of Thieves and Forza Horizon 4! Remember, to be eligible all you need to do is watch the show live at Mixer.com/Xbox on any Xbox, PC or mobile device while logged into your Microsoft account.”
So big news on the latest games AND the potential for free stuff? That sounds pretty good.
X018 On YouTube
If you’d prefer a more neutral playing field (or if you don’t have a Microsoft account and can’t get the free stuff), the show will be streamed on Xbox’s YouTube channel as well. All of the announcements will be the same, so you won’t miss any announcements by checking things out on YouTube instead of Mixer.
X018 on Social Media
If you’re stuck somewhere where you can’t watch a livestream but can occasionally check social media, the official Xbox Twitter and Facebook accounts will be covering the announcements in real time as well. While we hope that everyone who reads it can watch the video feed, there is a last resort for those unfortunate few.
With updates for Crackdown 3, Forza Horizon 4, and more confirmed as well as “a few surprises,” there’s no telling what Xbox is holding up their sleeves for the X018 event. With this handy guide, now you know where to find the good stuff.
