What’s better than great music and incredible games? Xbox is heading to Austin, Texas this week to be part of one of the year’s most highly anticipated music and culture events – Fader Fort. At Fader Fort, Team Xbox will host the VIP Xbox Game Pass Gaming Lounge, provide fun prizes to lucky attendees, and film a Xbox Sessions with music legend Big Boi from Outkast playing his favorite Xbox Game Pass games.
In its 17th year, Fader Fort takes place over March 13-15 and continues to reign as a widely coveted attraction for festival goers and SXSW attendees alike. Providing three days of entertainment and live performances by up and coming artists, Fader Fort is well-known as a place where emerging talent quickly hit it big, including past performers like Drake, Billie Ellish, Cardi B and more. This year’s performers will be announced this week at thefader.com, as well as Fader’s Instagram and Twitter.
This year, Xbox is launching the VIP Xbox Game Pass Gaming Lounge, an interactive space for emerging artists and creatives to experience their favorite games from the 100+ titles on the Xbox Game Pass library. There will also be a Xbox Official Gear station where VIP attendees – and some lucky winners on social media – will have a chance to get customized gear while kicking back and listening to the soundtrack of incredible Fader Fort performances.
The VIP Xbox Game Pass Gaming Lounge will also host the filming of an exclusive Xbox Session featuring Big Boi. This seven-time Grammy Award winning musician, record producer and actor will be playing several Xbox Game Pass games and sharing his thoughts on his latest single “Doin It” and his upcoming Dungeon Family Tour. This Xbox Session will air on March 21 on the Mixer Xbox Channel and the Xbox YouTube Channel.
For all Fader Fort attendees, waiting in line this year is actually going to be fun – with Team Xbox doing in-line contests and social giveaways throughout the festival. Brush up on your game trivia as a few lucky people in line will also receive special prizes like “Skip the Wait” passes to go to the front of the line or customized Xbox Official Gear.
Remember – you don’t have to wait for Fader Fort to check out Xbox Game Pass. You can sign up today to get your first month for just $1. With over 100 great games for one low monthly price, plus, more games added all the time, including highly-anticipated new Xbox One exclusives the day they’re released, Xbox Game Pass is the new way for you to discover and play your next favorite game.
