Stuffing an Xbox inside an alligator is the most Florida way ever to promote GTA VI

Microsoft has come up with a uniquely Florida way to promote the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto VI. The company commissioned creature animatronics specialists, John Nolan Studio, to create an alligator that appears to be swallowing an entire Xbox Series X. The gator, measuring over five feet long, boasts advanced 3D modeling, sculpting, and fabrication techniques, making it look incredibly realistic.

John Nolan Studio has experience working on major projects like Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, and The Witcher. Microsoft notes that every detail, including the texture and finish on the alligator and the controller, was carefully considered. The console inside the alligator seems to be fully functional, although Microsoft recommends it be kept as a display piece.

The one-of-a-kind gator will be given away via X, Instagram, or TikTok; contestants must have public accounts to enter. The contest runs until November 10, with the winner having 48 hours to claim the prize. Grand Theft Auto VI will launch on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox X/S, starting at $79.99. As of November 3, the game has seen an estimated 7.71 million pre-orders, generating around $751 million in revenue for Rockstar.
