Xbox Unveils Giveaway for Clair Obscur-Themed Series X Console

Microsoft is drumming up excitement for the upcoming release of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 by offering a unique Xbox Series X themed around the game. This custom console celebrates the debut of Sandfall Interactive’s highly anticipated RPG and has fans buzzing with anticipation.

Initially unveiled during the Xbox Games Showcase in June 2024, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 marks the first title from the French developer. It’s set to hit shelves for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC this coming Thursday, April 24.

The console giveaway stands out because, unlike previous promotions, it is being hosted exclusively on Reddit. To enter, fans must submit a post naming three characters from any game who could potentially take on the game’s main villain, the Paintress. Entrants are encouraged to get creative with their explanations for each choice.

To join in, participants need to comment on the official giveaway thread found on the r/Xbox subreddit. However, there are some rules in place: only one entry per user is allowed, and duplicate submissions lead to disqualification. Additionally, only Reddit accounts that are at least two months old and have a minimum of 50 karma points are eligible. This stipulation helps ensure fairness and deters users from creating fake accounts to gain an edge. The winner will be chosen through RedditRaffler.com, coinciding with the game’s release on April 24.

The giveaway is open to fans across North America, South America, Australia, and Europe, though it’s worth noting the console is a U.S. model with a corresponding warranty. But fret not, as the console is region-free, allowing it to play physical games from anywhere. The package also includes a custom controller inspired by Sandfall Interactive’s new release.

Included with the exclusive console is a digital download code for the Deluxe Edition of Clair Obscur: Expeditions 33. This edition not only offers the game itself but also features custom outfits for characters Maelle and Gustave, along with six other outfits from the “Flowers” Collection, giving each character a distinctive look. If the initial winner turns out to be ineligible, a second drawing will be conducted, also verifiable via RedditRaffler.com.
