Bluey, the famous protagonist from the Australian animated children’s show of the same name, has received its first-ever video game. The new game called Bluey: The Video Game hit the shelves on November 17, 2023.
To celebrate the debut of the children’s show in the gaming world, Xbox has launched an exclusive Bluey-themed Xbox Series X with a matching controller. Interestingly, the Bluey-themed console and controller come with good news and bad news. The bad news is that it is custom-made one of one. This means there is only one controller in existence for every themed console.
However, the good news is that Microsoft is running a giveaway wherein users can get their hands on these adorable devices for free. The company is offering the console as well as the controller in a Bluey The Video Game sweepstakes. Microsoft’s sweepstakes are highly popular among the Xbox community, wherein the company offers highly coveted items like pizza-scented controllers or furry Sonic and Knuckles controllers.
How to enter Bluey Themed Xbox Series X Giveaway?
To enter the giveaway and stand a chance to get that Bluey Xbox, players first need to follow Xbox on X (formerly Twitter) and retweet the company’s sweepstakes tweet. The Sweepstakes began at 6:00 a.m. Pacific Time (PT) on November 17, 2023, and ends at 8:00 p.m. PT on December 13, 2023. This is the entry period for the giveaway.
There are some criteria for users entering the sweepstakes. Firstly, the user must be a legal resident of an Xbox Console-supported country or region. Additionally, they must be eighteen (18) years of age or older. In case the users are aged 18 years and above but not of legal age in their respective region, they will need permission from their parent or guardian to enter the sweepstakes.
