Microsoft has debuted a new sweepstakes that gives fans a chance to win one of four distinct South Park: Snow Day Xbox Series X consoles. The promotion is meant to commemorate the release of South Park: Snow Day, which just hit digital and physical store shelves on March 26.
Unique Xbox device sweepstakes are Microsoft's preferred method for promoting a wide variety of partnerships, thus being a fairly common occurrence.

There are four prizes in total, one for each of the main characters: Cartman, Kyle, Kenny, and Stan. While many Microsoft-sponsored sweepstakes are only available to U.S. residents, this particular contest is open to legal residents of all Xbox-supported countries, of which there are 87. The only other requirements for entry are to be 18 or older, follow the official @Xbox account on Twitter, and retweet its official tweet in its exact form.
The first-place winner will receive a custom Xbox Series X console with Eric Cartman artwork. Kenny and Kyle adorn the second- and third-place prizes, respectively.
