Xbox Unveils Alligator-Housed Series X Console
Xbox has revealed a one-of-a-kind functioning Series X console built inside a sculpted alligator, available through a sweepstakes.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Contests
Xbox unveiled the XBOX Series X-BITE, a functioning Xbox Series X console housed inside an alligator measuring more than five feet from snout to tail. Xbox launched a sweepstakes to win the single unit, which closes November 10.
Why it matters
The console is a one-of-a-kind creation, so the sweepstakes is the only way for fans to obtain it. The stunt highlights how hardware marketing is being used to generate engagement and social reposts ahead of Xbox's next-generation hardware.
The XBOX Series X-BITE is a functioning Xbox Series X housed in an alligator measuring more than five feet snout to tail, with an illuminated XBOX Nexus in its body and a custom controller with bite marks between its jaws. Only one unit exists, and the source does not report its market value or how many entries the sweepstakes has received.
