50th anniversary badge

There's an issue that is causing a delay with the badge being added but they are working on getting them out as soon as they can.

Plus the fact that there's a lot of people all signed up for the badge as well is also causing a backlog.

You'll get it eventually but it may take another week or more.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with your 50th Anniversary badge not yet showing up on the account.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please note that this is a public forum, and I apologize for any delay in my response. Be guided that we are players like you, we are not employees of Microsoft or Xbox, so we do not have access to any user account or check anything from the forum. All users help each other with common problems.

It seems like you're not alone in experiencing this delay with the Microsoft 50th Anniversary badge because other Xbox Insider members have reported similar issues, and it is possible that it's due to the high volume of participants or a technical glitch in the rollout process.

Microsoft hasn't officially announced a resolution yet, but rest assured delays like this are often addressed in updates.

I am encouraging you to keep an eye on the Xbox Insider Hub: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/04/02/microsof... for any announcements.

Or you may also reach out to Xbox Support directly through the Xbox Support page for further assistance.

Hoping for the best that it gets sorted out soon. Thank you for your cooperation!

i just got one of those halo anniversary VIP badges, how to I make it appear

I am having the same issue. Please sort this out!! I paid for the episode and I want to watch it on my Xbox where it is intended to be viewed. I intend to watch all the episodes before the 50th anniversary. This is poor customer support if this technical
issue came up in September and still hasn't been resolved. Fix this.

I got that badge as well. The only email I got about the 10th Anniversary, was the stats email - no avatar rewards, no points or anything else, so don't worry yourself about it.
