Xbox has announced a new marketing campaign and sweepstakes featuring a custom-made console known as the XBOX Series X-BITE. The promotion, which began on November 3, 2026, offers one winner the chance to own a unique, one-of-a-kind playable unit.
The XBOX Series X-BITE is a custom fabrication that features an Xbox Series X console situated inside a meticulously crafted alligator. According to Xbox, the alligator measures "more than five feet from snout to tail" and includes an "illuminated XBOX Nexus in its body" through which the console is visible. The unit also includes a custom Xbox Wireless Controller featuring "bite marks" and "Xbox-green irises and Nexus-inspired pupils."
Creature animatronics specialists John Nolan Studio performed the 3D modeling, sculpting, and fabrication for the project. The studio has previously worked on creatures for 'The Witcher,' 'Jurassic World Dominion,' and the upcoming HBO 'Harry Potter' series.
The sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the 50 U.S. and D.C. who are 18 years of age or older. To enter, participants must follow @XBOX on X, Instagram, or TikTok, repost the designated sweepstakes post, and manually add the hashtag #XbiteSweepstakes to their repost.
Key details of the sweepstakes include:
Xbox stated that "no actual alligators were used or harmed in the making of this console" and noted the item is "best as display only."
While the Xbox promotional materials do not mention Grand Theft Auto 6, media outlets have noted the campaign's potential connection to the upcoming game. Destructoid reported that the teaser features electronic music that "clearly evokes both the Florida inspirations and soundtrack vibe of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6."
Kotaku reported that Sony appears to have an exclusive marketing campaign with Rockstar Games regarding Grand Theft Auto 6, which has allowed Sony to announce marketing opportunities such as "GTA 6 will play best on PS5."
