Made from dreams
This week has been a year since the world first launched on Xbox Series X and Turn on your dreams. Since then, we’ve explored the possibilities of the next generation of games and, for the past few weeks, we’ve seen firsthand the world’s most powerful console.
As we looked at the full potential of next generation games and the meaning behind them Turn on your dreamsWe wondered if the Xbox Series X could actually make gamers’ dreams come true. With the help of some members of the Xbox community and some incredibly talented developers, we set out to discover just that.
With the most advanced dream recording technology, dream scientists conducted lucid dream experiments, and captured and deciphered the real dreams of gamers after experiencing Xbox X series. We then worked with world-renowned artists and creators who took inspiration from the dream data to bring players’ dreams to life through a series of content we call “Made from Dreams”. This series of contents continues ours Turn on your dreams

This epic adventure captures the spirit of the actual research process, the boundless depths of MoonLiteWolf’s detailed and vivid dreams, and then actively questions our perception of a particular Xbox character as we know them.
