The new family game night with Xbox One S – @XboxCanada #XboxTogether

January 3, 2018 by Wendy S

Xbox makes gaming fun for the entire family!

In October, we were invited to join Xbox Canada for a fun-filled day in Toronto.

Lauren spent lots of time at the Minecraft programming table or playing Minecraft. Craig loved Forza 7!

What was in the box?

Xbox One S Box @ mapsgirl.ca

Xbox One S Contents @ mapsgirl.ca Xbox One S Minecraft controllers @ mapsgirl.ca

The Minecraft console is amazing! It has a slim design and can sit horizontally or vertically fitting well into any space. 

The controllers are all Bluetooth enabled which means easy play from anywhere in the room. We were able to set up each controller to be connected to each of our Xbox profiles. Lauren chose the pink Minecraft Pig and Rachel‘s profile is connected to the Creeper. This allows each of us to automatically sign in when we connect our controller. 

The girls’ profiles are part of our “Family“. Craig and I have administrative privileges and can control what the girls can do with their accounts. This helps keep them safe and minimizes unwanted downloads.

First up… Minecraft, of course! 

It didn’t take long to download the Minecraft game and to get the girls signed in.  

Family time is special

I love that Xbox has so many games that we can play as a family.  Seeing the girls smile and hearing them laugh is great! They are having a great time trying to teach us how to play Minecraft. We love the multiplayer games like Monopoly and Scrabble.

Check out Xbox Canada’s website to see all of the family-focused games that you can play on your Xbox One S.

I love that we are now part of the Xbox Canada family!  We are going to have a lot of fun!


Disclaimer: We were not paid to attend the Xbox event and I was not required to write this post in exchange for receiving the Xbox. We are really enjoying gaming together as a family and I wanted people to know about it.
