Xbox is offering a special edition Diablo 4-themed Xbox Series X console as a collector's item, but it doesn't actually work.
The console's design draws inspiration from a 19th-century bronze cast, presenting the Xbox Series X as a gateway to the realm of the underworld.
To participate in the sweepstakes and stand a chance to win this one-of-a-kind console, individuals must follow Xbox and Diablo accounts on Twitter, retweet the competition announcement using the hashtag #DiabloIVXboxSweepstakes.
Xbox is offering a limited edition Xbox Series X console inspired by Diablo 4, intended solely for decorative purposes as it does not function. This special collector's item expands the existing collection of customized Series X consoles that Xbox has given away throughout the years.
Since its initial release in late 2020, the Xbox Series X has undergone numerous unique design transformations. While some of these revisions were independently created by third-party individuals, many were specially commissioned by Microsoft.
Microsoft has unveiled a new collector's item, a Diablo 4-themed Xbox Series X. Created in collaboration with luxury goods manufacturer Takeoff Studios, this unique piece of engineering draws inspiration from The Gates of Hell, a renowned bronze cast by French artist Auguste Rodin. With its design likening the Xbox Series X to a gateway to the underworld, the console is accompanied by a large custom-made stand. While most limited-edition Xbox Series X consoles are fully functional, this Diablo 4-inspired system is purely an art piece. As a result, Microsoft is offering it as part of a sweepstakes, along with a standard Series X. The total value of the grand prize, of which there are two, is $1,309.98. This figure primarily consists of two $499.99 Xbox Series X consoles, despite one being non-functional. The custom Diablo 4 stand, valued by Microsoft at $310, contributes to the remaining retail value of the package. However, the stand is not expected to be sold separately.
To enter the sweepstakes and have a chance of winning one of these exclusive collector's items, individuals residing in eligible territories simply need to follow the @Xbox and @Diablo Twitter accounts, retweet the competition's announcement post, and include the hashtag #DiabloIVXboxSweepstakes. Only public Twitter accounts are eligible for participation. The entry period will close at 11:59 p.m. PT on October 30.
The unveiling of this extraordinary console coincides with Microsoft's recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The completion of the $68.7 billion transaction on October 13 has made Microsoft the proud owner of various beloved gaming franchises, including Diablo and Call of Duty.
