An alligator swallowed an XBOX Series X, and you could win it

This November, XBOX is heading to Florida - home to incredible wildlife, unforgettable places, and every now and then, stories you have to see to believe. That felt like the right inspiration for a custom XBOX Series X unlike anything we've made before: the XBOX Series X-BITE.

The idea is simple: an alligator swallowed an XBOX Series X whole. And yes, it still works.

Measuring more than five feet from snout to tail, the console sits inside a meticulously crafted alligator, visible through an illuminated XBOX Nexus in its body. A custom XBOX Wireless Controller with bite marks rests between its jaws, complete with XBOX-green irises and Nexus-inspired pupils, making the XBOX Series X-BITE ready to play some of the biggest games of the year. The result is part-XBOX Series X, part-creature fabrication.

Bringing XBOX Series X-BITE to Life

Turning the idea into something real required serious craft.

Creature animatronics specialists John Nolan Studio brought the XBOX Series X-BITE to life through 3D modeling, sculpting and fabrication. The studio has created creatures and animatronics for 'The Witcher,' 'Jurassic World Dominion,' and HBO's upcoming 'Harry Potter' series.

Every detail was considered, from the texture and finish of the alligator to the custom XBOX Wireless Controller and illuminated console within. At the center of it all is a functioning XBOX Series X.

Only one exists. It could be yours.

Only one XBOX Series X-BITE exists. Starting today, one person will have the chance to own it.
