Xbox to Unveil Clair Obscur-Themed Series X Console Giveaway

Microsoft is throwing a unique promotion by giving away a specially designed Xbox Series X that pays homage to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This custom console marks the excitement surrounding the release of this eagerly anticipated game.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, first unveiled during the June 2024 Xbox Games Showcase, is the inaugural project of the French game development studio Sandfall Interactive. The game is set to make its debut on the Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC on April 24.

Microsoft is boosting the launch excitement by offering an exclusive Clair Obscur-themed Xbox Series X. Although using customized Xbox consoles to promote game launches isn’t new for Microsoft, what sets this giveaway apart is its unique participation platform—Reddit. To enter, participants must reply by naming three characters from any game who could confront the Paintress, the villain of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Entrants are encouraged to get creative with their choices and justifications.

Submissions should go under the official giveaway thread on Reddit’s r/Xbox. Bear in mind, only one entry per person is allowed and copying others will lead to disqualification. To prevent foul play, only Reddit users with a minimum of 50 karma points and accounts that are at least two months old can participate. The winner will be randomly chosen via RedditRaffler.com on the game’s release date, April 24.

This competition is open to participants from North America, South America, Australia, and Europe. However, the console is a U.S-designed model with a limited warranty valid only in the U.S. Still, like any other Xbox Series X, this Clair Obscur-themed edition is region-free, capable of playing physical games purchased globally. The package also includes a custom wireless controller inspired by Sandfall Interactive’s latest RPG.

The winner will not only get this exclusive console but also receive a digital download code for the Deluxe Edition of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This deluxe package includes unique outfits for characters Maelle and Gustave, plus six outfits from the “Flowers” Collection, offering a fresh look for each character. Should the randomly chosen winner not meet the eligibility criteria, a second drawing will be held using RedditRaffler.com to ensure fairness in awarding the prize.
