Microsoft has unveiled the Xbox Series X BITE, a custom gaming console encased inside a realistic alligator sculpture. The creation houses a fully operational console within the body of a 5 foot beast and includes a bite marked controller resting in its jaws. Only 1 unit exists, offered through a social media sweepstakes rather than retail sale.
Creature animatronics specialists John Nolan Studio handled the fabrication through 3D modeling, sculpting, and hand painted finishing. The team previously created animatronics for major film productions including Jurassic World Dominion and The Witcher. The build measures more than 5 feet from snout to tail, featuring green glowing irises and a visible illuminated Xbox Nexus logo set into the body. A functioning Xbox Series X sits at the center of the structure, transforming the piece into part console part sculpture.
The console comes with an Xbox Wireless Controller that slots directly between the jaws of the sculpture. The gamepad features simulated tooth punctures and customized buttons to match the swamp theme. Microsoft confirmed the internal hardware operates as a standard production console, though the company recommends using the piece primarily as a display item. No real animals were harmed during construction.
Microsoft is giving away the single unit through a promotional sweepstakes across 3 social media platforms: X, Instagram, and TikTok. Entrants must follow the official Xbox account, repost the campaign message, add the official promotional hashtag, and maintain a public profile. The selected winner has 48 hours to confirm the prize claim before another participant is chosen.
