With a new CEO in Asha Sharma, XBOX aimed for this year’s showcase to reassure customers of the strong future of the brand while not forgetting its past. Hyper reached this goal as the leaders of the production’s direction and XR integration, setting the tone of the entire event.

Through our creation of branded virtual backgrounds, directing of executive level talent, and adaptation of tight timelines, this goal was met overwhelmingly, with major media outlets highlighting the showcase as one of the year’s greatest.
