Materially, you could have won some free GPU or Xbox blankets (the chat mods dropped in maybe 5 codes total). They also said that every person watching would be entered into a raffle to win a Series S.
I don’t think they announced anything. There was some small engagement where they conducted trivia through polls and if the correct answer won, they awarded discounts to the Xbox gear store (not sure if this was the same thing as the coupon codes posted above) and most of what I heard was about shining a light on certain Game Pass games.
Like I said earlier, it seems to have gone off without a hitch and I think it was the first time they did something like this. Not bad!
Sounds neat. It sounded like this might be a recurring series of things. I think if they could get someone from Rare or another studio for each and ask some questions from audience, interview them, that could be really interesting.
Glad there weren’t technical issues this time around though. I know people were pretty disappointed with the first one.
Yeah, it was really night and day in terms of smoothness. It’s a shame I had other things to do. Frankly, I tuned in for the tangible rewards, but I did enjoy the banter and guests. I’d like to see more of this too.
There’s quite a lot of prizes, including Elite controllers, Xbox Gear gift cards, Microsoft points, personalized FanFest jerseys, and a bunch more. The grand prize is worth over $1,000 and includes a Series S, an Elite 2 controller, 12 months of GPU, 310k rewards points, and much more.
To sign up, go to Xbox.com/FanFest or check your email if you’re already a FanFest member.
Way to go everyone! I think I ended in the top 100, probably in the 70s. I didn’t expect the prize pool to be so generous, this should finance a fair few games
Honestly, I thought way fewer people would show up and that I could easily place in the 500s, but some of the questions were really tough and I certainly didn’t expect like 2500 people.

[and a physical trophy as well I think]
If you turn them in for MS store credit:
10.000 points is $9
50.000 points is $53
100.000 points is $109
150.000 points is $162
So including the actual digital gift cards, top 250 get $97 (and close to 100 with leftover points), top 100 get $210 with no leftover points, top 10 and first place get $372. ^The digital gift cards are for the gear shop, my mistake!
Edit: Just got my prize! Check your e-mails, people, there’s a time-sensitive one.
2nd edit: The month of GPU they offer is "Valid for new Xbox Game Pass members only. " so if you’re here, you should probably go for the $5 or 2500 points.
