For GTA 6, Xbox Put an Xbox Series X in an Alligator

Ahead of the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 release, Microsoft has unveiled a unique Xbox Series X creation. Dubbed the Xbox Series X-BITE, this custom console is ingeniously designed to resemble an alligator, showcasing Microsoft's innovative approach to celebrating Florida wildlife.

Standing over five feet tall from snout to tail, the Xbox Series X-BITE includes an illuminated Xbox Nexus that reveals a fully functional Xbox Series X hidden within the creature's body. A specially crafted Xbox Wireless Controller, bearing bite marks, rests between the alligator's jaws, adding to the bizarre yet intriguing design.

John Nolan Studio, a specialist in creature and animatronics known for their work on The Witcher, Jurassic World Dominion, and HBO's upcoming Harry Potter series, brought this extraordinary concept to life. Using advanced 3D modeling, sculpting, and fabrication techniques, they created a one-of-a-kind alligator that is truly one-of-a-kind.

The Xbox Series X-BITE is the sole example of its kind, and Microsoft is giving fans the opportunity to win it through an exclusive sweepstakes running from November 3 to November 10, 2026. The giveaway is open to legal residents of the United States aged 18 and older, who can enter by following @Xbox on X, Instagram, or TikTok, reposting the designated sweepstakes post, and including the hashtag #XbiteSweepstakes.

Three methods of entry are available: X, Instagram, or TikTok. Participants must ensure their accounts are public for their entries to be counted. The lucky winner will have 48 hours to respond and claim the prize upon being contacted. Importantly, this is not a purchase required to participate, and Microsoft emphasizes that the Xbox Series X-BITE is a custom fabrication meant for display purposes only. No alligators were harmed or used in the creation of this unique gaming accessory.
