Age Of Empires 2: Definitive Edition finally arrived on Xbox in late January, and the team’s console port was largely a huge success. Just over a month after launch, the console love continues to come with the game’s latest update with the “Xbox Celebration Event”.
Until March 21, Age of Empires 2 players can log in and get special Xbox-themed rewards. A profile icon is unlocked simply by logging in and saving your game during the event, while five other rewards are also available. Here’s how to get them:
Each of the following challenges must be unlocked in order and on different days.
- Day 1: Research 10 techs in college in any number of matches – Unlocks a graphics mod where Trebuchet shells are replaced with the Xbox logo.
- Trip 2: Destroy 1 Town Center with Teutonic Knights (or Elite Teutonic Knights) – Unlocks a profile icon of a Teutonic Knight wearing an Xbox-shaped medieval helmet.
- Day 3: convert 10 units – Unlocks a graphics mod where relics are replaced with Xbox controller relics.
- Day 4: Train 360 units fighting with spears in any number of matches – Unlocks a profile icon of a Pikeman playing on Xbox.
- Trip 5: Train 5 siege towers in a skirmish or multiplayer match within 30 minutes of play – Unlocks a graphics mod where siege towers are replaced with Xbox Series X coolers.
