Microsoft awards alligator-shaped Xbox Series X via social media contest

In a promotional effort distinct from Sony's Grand Theft Auto VI partnership, Microsoft released the Xbite: a custom-fabricated Xbox Series X console encased in an animatronic alligator. Created by John Nolan Studio using advanced sculpting and fabrication techniques, this unique one-of-one unit features a functional internal console visible through its illuminated Nexus light, with a controller resting between the creature's jaws. The design references Florida wildlife themes without actually harming any animals. Microsoft is offering only this single Xbite to US residents aged 18 or older as part of an online sweepstakes accessible via Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.
