Xbox announced a new wireless headset for the X and S Series today, but keen fans may have seen it in a trailer last year.

In an October trailer titled “Power Your Dreams,” a giant CG avatar of Get Out star Daniel Kaluuya boots an Xbox Series X and does a lot of incredible video game things, including growing to 80 times the size of a planet and wear the Master Chief Suit. First of all, he wears a pair of new Xbox wireless headphones, a giant smile growing on his face before being teleported into space. Check out the trailer below.
Xbox social media manager Josh Stein confirmed the Easter egg on Tuesday, adding that he was unsure whether other Easter eggs existed in the trailer.
The Xbox team loves to hide their latest hardware and other Easter eggs in videos. During the Game Lab 2020 Keynote Fireside chat, Xbox boss Phil Spencer spoke to interviewers while the Xbox Series X was sitting on its shelf in the back the entire time.
The new wireless headset may not transport you to different dimensions, but for $ 99.99, it will work with the X Series, S Series and Xbox One and will allow space audio. The headset is compatible with the Xbox 3D audio system package: Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos and DTS Headphone: X. If you like PC games, it will also work there.
The headset is available from March 16, but you can order it from Amazon or the Microsoft Store now.
