Xbox takes a trip down memory lane and recovers the look that won over millions

SAPO Notícias29 August 2026 at 19:14

Xbox celebrates 25 years of the brand with a special collection of accessories that recovers the iconic look of the original console. The centerpiece of this collection is the translucent green, one of the most recognizable images of the brand that won over millions of players.

This aesthetic choice is no coincidence. The translucent green was one of the most striking features of the original Xbox console, becoming an instantly recognizable symbol for brand fans across generations.

With this collection, the company aims to evoke nostalgia in older players who grew up with the first console, while presenting iconic elements to a new generation of consumers. The strategy combines emotional memory with the brand's contemporary appeal.

This release is part of Xbox's 25th anniversary celebrations, marking a journey through time that connects the past and present of Microsoft's gaming brand.

Lisbon creche wins the absenteeism battle and maintains four-day week

Centro Infantil Maria de Monserrate, in Lisbon, became the world's first creche to implement a four-day week, maintaining Monday to Friday operation for children. The association Caminhos da Infância, which manages the facility with 92 children and 25 staff members, decided to maintain the hybrid model (two weeks with four days, one with five) after a pilot project, adapting to the rhythm of activities and the needs of families. The 15% reduction in working hours required hiring an additional staff member, a cost offset by adjustments to extra-salary benefits. Executive director Inês Poeiras notes that absenteeism has improved significantly, but staff retention remains a challenge due to competition from public sector salaries, which IPSS cannot compete with.
