This is the unusual (video game) encounter of the week: a player of Fallout 76 stumbled upon Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, while exploring the universe of this open world on line.
Phil Spencer, head of Xbox Game Studios and head of the Xbox branch at Microsoft, was recently spotted by a gamer in the video game Fallout 76. And not only did they cross paths, but they also exchanged objects in-game.
A chance meeting with the boss of Xbox
While a mod now allows you to face Elon Musk in Fallout New Vegasit is a very real meeting (or at least, really virtual) which took place recently in Fallout 76. This Monday, July 31, player MJ__Hernandez shared a clip of his meeting with Phil Spencer in the Bethesda video game on X.com.
Since Spencer is known on social media as XboxP3, it is also common knowledge that his gamertag Xbox is “P3”: this is how it was unexpectedly recognized during an online gaming session.
Despite a complicated launch in 2018, Fallout 76 has since grown in popularity, winning over new players through regular updates. It seems that Phil Spencer is one of these new arrivals!
A friendly exchange and a heart emoji
In the video shared by MJ_Hernandez, we can see that the latter deposited several resources, including healing items, with the boss of Xbox, who accepted them with joy, and moreover replied with a “heart” emoji as a sign of gratitude. In response to the post in which he was identified, Phil Spencer again thanked the player, stating in passing that “care is always welcome. »
It must be said that the Xbox boss really needed this little help: according to the video, he is currently only at level 11 in this game, which was released five years ago. It’s hard to blame Phil Spencer, who we imagine is busy, and who regularly appears testing the many other Game Pass games on his social networks.
This fortuitous and amusing encounter underlines the universal character of video games, and the way in which it brings together all kinds of players in common universes. The anecdote is reminiscent of the improbable meeting between the players ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizons and actors Danny Trejo or Elijah Wood, in 2020.

Microsoft signs an impressive console, as comfortable on the thousands of titles of previous generations, as on the demanding AAAs to come. The best thing is that you will enjoy this experience in absolute silence, to concentrate on the main thing: the games. It will be a while before the Xbox Series X becomes indispensable, but if you want the best experience possible currently at Microsoft, it is on Series X.
