Microsoft’s Xbox Series X-Bite Houses a Working Console Inside a Five Foot Alligator

Microsoft built a single Xbox Series X and sealed it inside a life-sized alligator that stretches more than five feet from snout to tail. The console remains fully playable. An illuminated Xbox Nexus button glows through the creature’s back so the machine can be powered on, while a custom wireless controller sits clenched between the open jaws, marked with simulated bite marks.

Green irises and X-shaped pupils complete the face. The John Nolan Studio, which has previously worked on creature designs for The Witcher and Jurassic World Dominion, was in charge of bringing this alligator to life – but it’s actually a bespoke Series X. The procedure began with 3D modeling, sculpting, and fabrication, which was so convincing that at first glance, you’d think it was a real specimen in a glass case rather than a beautiful plastic enclosure.
