XBOX Announces Its Wildest Console... In The Belly Of A Gator
The work is by McCann London
04 November 2026
This November, the gaming world is about to experience a lot of crazy Florida stories.
Inspired by the wild things that happen in the state, XBOX, in partnership with McCann in London, have released their wildest console ever. It’s a custom-made alligator with a working XBOX Series X in its belly.
The alligator has been crafted with painstaking attention to detail by world-leading creature effects company John Nolan Studio, who have developed animatronics for Jurassic World and Harry Potter. The studio brought the concept to life through clay moulding, fiberglass sculpting and hand-crafted finishings. Every detail is meticulously crafted, from the texture of the alligator’s skin to the controller in its jaws.
Fans stand the chance to win this one-of-a-kind console through XBOX’s social channels ending November 19th .
