“You must also be humble”: Andre Braugher had some advice for Xbox fans

The gaming community has always admired collaborations with their favorite TV stars. One such top-tier collaboration involved Andre Braugher with the best next-gen console upgrade deal ever. Well, technically he couldn’t say so! We COULD call Xbox All Access ‘the HOTTEST’ deal in gaming… but we won’t,” he wrote in the caption. 

Having a hard time recalling the campaign? No worries, this advertisement was for the Xbox console along with Game Pass Ultimate, called the Xbox All Access. Going by the reputation of Microsoft, this promotional campaign was another genius campaign that hailed the deal as the hottest way to upgrade to next-gen consoles. The pitch here was that players were offered the ultimate game pass with no upfront cost. However, as the idea of the campaign said, We’d never say that Xbox All Access is the best way to step into next-gen. It is, but we’d never say so.”
