Microsoft has built a one-of-a-kind gaming console inside the jaws of a custom-fabricated Florida alligator, and it is currently available to win. The Xbox Series X-BITE, unveiled on November 3, 2026, encases a full Xbox Series X inside a custom alligator body, complete with Xbox-green illuminated irises, Nexus-pupil eyes, and a bite-marked custom Xbox Wireless Controller resting between the gator’s teeth. Xbox’s own announcement sets the tone: “This November, Xbox is heading to Florida—home to incredible wildlife.”
Only one Xbox Series X-BITE exists in the world, and Microsoft is giving it away through the #XbiteSweepstakes, open from November 3 through November 10, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PT. After that window closes, the gator is gone.
Gamers hoping to win the one-of-a-kind console must avoid a common entry mistake before the sweepstakes closes. Simply clicking “Repost” on X, Instagram, or TikTok does not qualify; entrants must have a public account, follow @Xbox, and manually type the hashtag #XbiteSweepstakes into their repost. Additionally, eligibility is strictly limited to legal residents of the 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., aged 18 and older.
The Florida theme prompted online speculation, but Xbox has not announced a connection to another game or event.
Xbox’s official materials include a display-use caveat. Entrants should read the official rules and the original post for the current description and eligibility terms rather than rely on reposts or third-party summaries.
The official rules also set notification and claim requirements. Entrants should check the official terms for the current deadline, platform-specific conditions and any response window.
How do you enter the Xbox Series X-BITE alligator sweepstakes?
To enter before November 10, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PT, legal U.S. residents (18+) must use a public account on X, Instagram, or TikTok to follow @Xbox, repost the official sweepstakes post, and manually add the hashtag #XbiteSweepstakes. The selected winner must respond within 48 hours to claim the console.
The sweepstakes closes on November 10 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Enter now on X, Instagram, or TikTok—manually type #XbiteSweepstakes, make sure your account is set to public, and check your DMs after the 10th.
