Xbox has devised an unusual way to celebrate Florida wildlife ahead of the upcoming Grand Theft Automat 6 launch, unveiling a custom Xbox Series X that appears to have been swallowed whole by an alligator. Even more striking, the console inside actually works, and one lucky fan could soon have the bizarre gaming accessory in their home.
Dubbed the Xbox Series X-BITE, the custom creation measures more than five feet from snout to tail. Its illuminated Xbox Nexus reveals a functioning Xbox Series X inside the alligator’s body, while a specially designed Xbox Wireless Controller, complete with bite marks, sits between its jaws.
The creature also features Xbox-green eyes with Nexus-inspired pupils, giving it the look of something ready to take a bite out of your gaming backlog.
Bringing the unusual creation to life was John Nolan Studio, a creature and animatronics specialist whose previous work includes The Witcher, Jurassic World Dominion, and HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series. The studio used 3D modeling, sculpting, and fabrication to build the oversized alligator.
How to win the Xbox Series X-BITE
There is only one Xbox Series X-BITE in existence, and Microsoft is giving fans a chance to win it through a new sweepstakes.
Running from November 3 through November 10, 2026, the giveaway is open to legal residents of the United States aged 18 and older. There are three ways to enter, through X, Instagram, or TikTok.
To enter, participants must follow @Xbox on their chosen platform, repost the designated sweepstakes post, and include #XbiteSweepstakes with their repost. Accounts must be public for entries to count.
The potential winner will have 48 hours to respond and claim the prize after being contacted. No purchase is necessary, and you can find the full official sweepstakes rules here. One important caveat: Microsoft describes the Xbox Series X-BITE as a custom fabrication and recommends it for display purposes only. No actual alligators were used or harmed in its creation.
