Not only is Microsoft bridging the gap between console and PC gamers, there now appear to be blurring the lines between gaming and sports as well.
Today, Xbox announced the creation of its newest, custom console in partnership with the 12-time winning UEFA Champions League team, Real Madrid. The one-of-a-kind console features the Real Madrid logo and is personally autographed by each player in the squad.
One very fortunate fan will have the chance to win the console by participating in the global giveaway opportunity on Xbox’s Twitter page from April 27 to May 4. Simply follow the official @Xbox Twitter account and retweet the promotional post including the hashtag #XboxSweepstakes (click here for official details).
In addition, the entire Real Madrid squad was excited to receive their customized consoles during a training session earlier this week. Each player’s console has their jersey number and initials on it. Particularly given the big month coming up in their season, these personalized consoles will serve as a reminder of the journey ahead.
According to Microsoft, Xbox are truly honoured to partner with the entire Real Madrid family on this project. This is a team that consistently demonstrates a commitment to excellence, technique, and sportsmanship, all qualities that Microsoft are committed to bringing to their products and give their fans the opportunity to experience.
This news comes hours after Xbox challenged Usain Bolt to the ultimate Xbox Game Pass speed test.
