Summary

  • Get a custom Xbox Series X console & 2 cheeky controllers inspired by Deadpool's "best asset!"
  • The Deadpool & Wolverine movie release is being celebrated with unique controllers & a themed console.
  • Join the sweepstakes by Xbox Canada to win this Merc with a Mouth-inspired gaming set.

To celebrate the release of the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie, Xbox has revealed a custom Xbox Series X console, along with two very unique "cheeky" controllers. The new movie sees Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman reprising their roles as the titular mutants as they go on a multiverse-spanning adventure that brings them into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The official Xbox X account shared an image of the official Deadpool-themed console, which resembles the torso of the Merc with a Mouth, with his two katanas "Bea" and "Arthur" strapped to its back.
The console is also accompanied by two controllers based on another area of Deadpool's body, his butt, with a post by Xbox Canada providing a better look, calling them "perfectly ergonomic." These butt-shaped controllers are also signed by Deadpool in a fourth-wall-breaking move that's perfect for the character and implies he designed them himself.
The Xbox Canada account sharing this seems fitting as both Deadpool and Wolverine are Canadian.

How To Get The Deadpool-Themed Xbox Series X Unfortunately, The Design Won't Be On General Release Close To get the Deadpool & Wolverine-themed Xbox Series X, players have until August 11, 2024, to enter a sweepstakes to win it, and to do so, they must simply follow the Xbox Canada page and repost with the hashtag #XboxCheekyControllerSweepstakes. This contest follows a tradition of sweepstakes projects devised by gaming, movie, or TV companies to drum up excitement for impending releases, with a recent Xbox and Marvel collaboration celebrating the release of X-Men '97.
Whereas the main draw of the X-Men '97 sweepstakes was its custom console featuring comic panel-esque imagery of the X-Men fighting a sentinel on one side and an image of the team posing on the other, the Wolverine controller that came with it could easily be recreated on Xbox's Design Lab. This isn't the case with the Deadpool controllers, however, as it involves an entirely new sculpt rather than a simple recoloring.
Unfortunately, these consoles were never sold on the general retail market, making the sweepstakes the only way players stand a chance of getting one. While this is great for audience engagement as it makes the prize far more rare – and therefore more valuable – there would certainly be a market for such unique designs if Xbox were to sell them, even in limited quantities, as is evident by the sheer number of people sharing the post on X already.
