A video game mascot is a symbol used by video game companies to promote their specific series and franchises. They are often compared to those at sporting events, with larger-than-life animals like Pikachu or Crash Bandicoot. Recently, Xbox has announced Craig, the flat-faced brute from Halo Infinite, as its new mascot. This announcement was made in response to an internet meme that has been lampooning the graphics for the game.
While Blinx did not become the ubiquitous Xbox mascot, the whiskered Timebender did deliver a set of unique and exclusive characters. Astro Bot, PlayStation’s cute robot, goes on platforming adventures. As Paris 2024’s vision is to demonstrate that sport can change lives, the mascots will be playing.
The game’s unpopularity led to Master Chief being unofficially seen as the mascot, though Blinx was proposed as the mascot for the Xbox in Japan. The company/system mascots include Xbox, Blinx the Time Sweeper, and Marcus Fenix. Some fans believe that Cortana, the “voice” of Xbox and Windows, should be the new Xbox mascot.
Phil Spencer, the face of Xbox, is more than Master Chief these days, and many fans believe that his unofficial mascot is Master Chief. Halo is a massive game that makes people think of the future and the potential for change.

Uh Crash hasn’t been PlayStation’s mascot since the PS1 days. Sony never even owned that character, it was Activision’s franchise. Kratos became their mascot, and then the Helghast from Killzone, Sackboy, and then Nathan Drake, and then Aloy. They have so many 1st party games they’re way past having just one now. Crash also hasn’t been relevant since the PS1 days. That new Crash game came out and it bombed horribly. People pretending Crash is interesting now when nobody buys those games? Lmao, oh gamers. Someday you guys will get a life.
