Xbox unveils the Series X-BITE, a one-off, alligator-shaped working Xbox Series X console that is being given away via a social media contest. The console is designed to look like an alligator swallowed the system, and the illuminated controls appear through the gator “skin,” with a custom controller also included.
Microsoft’s materials position the promotion as part of an upcoming push to Florida, using “pure Miami vibes” language that outlets link to GTA 6’s setting in a Vice City-style version of Leonida. Xbox notes the alligator is a custom fabrication and that no real alligators are harmed in making it. The contest winner will be able to play “some of the biggest games of the year,” according to the company.
Across coverage, reporting largely agrees on what was unveiled, that only one console exists, and that entry is through reposting and adding a specific hashtag. The emphasis differs: GameSpot and IGN foreground the tie-in to GTA 6-era marketing, while Polygon and Xbox’s own Major Nelson posting focus more on the giveaway mechanics and basic description of the console.
