An official Barbie Xbox Series S console has been revealed to promote the upcoming Greta Gerwig comedy film. Built into a pink, plastic dollhouse, the new promotional console may be one of Xbox’s best yet.
Revealed in an Xbox Wire blog post, Microsoft has created a number of Barbie crossover items in a collaboration with Warner Bros and Mattel.
Alongside its previously leaked Forza Horizon 5 Barbie crossover, the console manufacturer is giving fans a chance to win a unique Barbie console to play all manner of games on.
Built into a three story dreamhouse for Barbie dolls, the Barbie Xbox Series S console is a sleek, hot pink box that comes with a bright matching controller. Fitting in with the Barbie theme, the cutesy controller comes with five interchangeable faceplates to truly make it your own.
Fans will be able to have a chance to win the new console via Microsoft Rewards. Starting on July 10th, you’ll be able to use your Microsoft Reward points — earned by using Bing, completing Game Pass missions and buying Xbox games — to enter a huge sweepstakes for the console.
Additionally, fans are also able to win new Barbie dolls that are dressed in Xbox swag. Also available via a Microsoft Rewards sweepstakes, these dolls wear Xbox branded clothing and come with accessories such as an Xbox Series S, an Xbox controller and even an Xbox Adaptive Controller.
Warner Bros’ Barbie movie comes to cinemas on July 21, 2023. The movie follows the titular Barbie, played by Margot Robbie, on a journey of self discovery alongside her iconic boyfriend Ken, played by Blade Runner actor Ryan Gosling.
The Barbie movie is currently embroiled in an online feud with Christopher Nolan’s upcoming Oppenheimer movie. Both releasing on the same day, will the Hot Pink doll movie be able to overtake the Atomic Bomb biopic? Judging by their online popularity, they may end up being pretty even.
