Power On: The Story of Xbox Review
4When Microsoft held their Xbox 20th Anniversary Celebration in November of 2021 to look back on twenty years of being in the console business, there were a couple announcements that garnered my attention. The most obvious one was announcing that Halo Infinite Multiplayer would be available right away to mark the occasion, which would be a few weeks ahead of its anticipated release date. The second one was that there would be a documentary detailing how Xbox came to fruition.
Being able to take a peek behind the curtain is always fun and interesting but expectations for the documentary were low. The assumption was that the film would be somewhere around thirty minutes with some interviews spied in. Upon release of Power On: The Story of Xbox, my expectations were blown out of the water immediately when glancing at the sheer size of the documentary. Power On: The Story of Xbox is a six part series, with each part being around 40 minutes for a total run time of 240 minutes and 53 second which means it is over 4 hours long.
The big question is should you spend your time watching it?
