In brief: Do you want an Xbox Series X but can't afford or find one? Then here's some good news: Microsoft is giving one of its consoles away in a sweepstake. And it's not just your everyday, run-of-the-mill machine; it's a Far Cry 6-themed XBSX that is so heavily modified, it's unrecognizable.
Video game-themed consoles and PCs are nothing new. With Far Cry 6 finally arriving on October 7, Microsoft is helping promote the game and its Xbox Series X with a customized version of the console. Both the box and controller have a guerrilla-like aesthetic, complete with fake rust, and there's a Spanish-language danger: high voltage warning sign on the side.
The Far Cry 6 XBSX isn't available to buy. Instead, Microsoft is giving people the chance to win it as part of a bundle through the Microsoft Rewards program. Those who aren't members can sign up via this website . After you're up and running, it's time to earn points, which can be done in various ways: searching with Bing, playing quizzes, filling out polls, etc.
Once you reach 200 points, go to the redeem section and exchange them for a single entry into the Far Cry 6 XBSX sweepstake. Players can enter as many times as they like, providing they have enough points for a ticket.
The bundle contains not only the console and a digital code for Far Cry 6 Ultimate Edition but also a 77-inch QN90A Samsung Neo QLED 4K TV to play them on. The sweepstake ends on September 30.
Microsoft recently partnered with Marvel to a create an Xbox Series X inspired by the upcoming MCU movie Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings. Follow the instructions in the tweet below for a chance to win it.

For a themed XBSX that is available to buy, a Halo Infinite-inspired version of the console lands in November. Sadly, as with so many things these days, finding a preorder in stock right now is an impossible task without resorting to eBay scalpers.
