Microsoft Makes Custom Palworld Xbox Series S

ign.com:

Microsoft has continued its custom console collection by creating an Xbox Series S based on 'Pokémon with guns' hit Palworld.

Revealed on X/Twitter, below, the Palworld Xbox Series S itself features a ton of Pals in colourful artwork, but it's perhaps the controllers that will draw the most attention. The console comes with four gamepads, each one themed after different Palworld beasties.

A yellow controller features Electric element Pal Grizzbolt, a green controller features Grass element Pal Mammorest, a blue controller features Water and Ice element Pal Pengullet, and a pink controller features Neautral Pal Cattiva.

Follow and RT with #PalworldXboxSweepstakes for a chance to win a custom Palworld Xbox Series S, 4 custom controllers, and a 3 Month Game Pass Ultimate Code.

Xbox isn't selling the custom console but is instead giving it away in a sweepstake. Fans can enter for a chance to win by following the Xbox X/Twitter account and retweeting the post by March 17, 2024. The prize bundle comes with three months of Game Pass Ultimate, too.

Palworld is a smash hit, logging 25 million players since going on sale in January 2024, including 10 million on Xbox. It's the biggest third-party launch on Game Pass ever. This might lower the chance of winning the special console, but someone's got to win.

This isn't the first custom console or controller Xbox has created, as earlier in February it revealed a Dune: Part 2 special edition with a floating gamepad. Other Xbox Series X and S generation highlights include red and blue fluffy Sonic the Hedgehog gamepads, one made out of actual Jade, and even an edible gamepad.

Its more regular line of controllers include the sexy Gold Shadow, cosmic Stellar Shift, dusty Stormcloud Vapor, and even an Earth Day one made partly from recycled CDs, water jugs, and other Xbox controller parts.
