Xbox takes over the Las Vegas Sphere
Microsoft went all-out on Xbox advertising with its takeover of the Las Vegas Sphere last night.
For anyone unfamiliar with the Sphere, it's a dome-shaped entertainment arena which opened last month. The inside wall has wraparound LED screen, and on the outside there's LED display space used for advertising.
Xbox is the latest company to use the Sphere for advertising, lighting up Las Vegas with its green logo to coincide with TwitchCon.
The Sphere displayed shots from numerous games available on Xbox, including Starfield, Forza, and Cyberpunk 2077 (with a short appearance from Keanu Reeves' Johnny Silverhand) before showing the Xbox Series X/S line of consoles. The advert used the 3D effect from the Sphere's display quite well, too.

The Sphere advert is another part of Xbox's latest marketing campaign called Power Your Dreams. The live-action advert scored by Son Lux, which was nominated at the BAFTAs and Oscars for its work on Everything Everywhere All At Once, is also part of the same campaign.

We've seen a couple of other game companies get the ball rolling on the Sphere hype. Earlier this month Devolver Digital used it to promote co-op sandbox survival game Wizard With A Gun.
We may have spent all our money to promote Wizard with a Gun on the Las Vegas Sphere so please pre-order it before it launches October
