Michael Grzesiek, aka Shroud, is probably the most famous gamer out there. Back when he was on Twitch, he had over 7million subscribers watching him. Currently, he streams games online on Mixer. Although the move influenced from a business perspective, Shroud was quite happy to make it.
Recently he teamed up with Xbox to give us a commercial full of amusing ingredients. He is quite honestly one of the best out there when it comes to adapting to new circumstances. He has shown that with his sleek skills in Valorant itself.

The advertisement for Xbox was something new for him as well, and he did not disappoint with his acting abilities. The entire concept of the video was quite funny, to begin with. It was featuring Shroud and a beaver on a hand-glider. Although it looked super real at the start, it was all green-screen, and the concept made it funnier. With a serious narrator, a CGI beaver and Shroud, what could go wrong?

The 45-second advertising clip did reveal a few things to us. The advertisement was basically a subscription for Xbox Game Pass for PC. Firstly, Shroud will be playing Halo – now that we are sure of that. The video also shows him multi-tasking, which is something he is quite famous for. The playfulness of the video makes us commend Shroud’s improv skills.
