Xbox has unveiled a partnership with Overwatch 2 and Porsche for a new limited edition Series X sweepstakes event. Such giveaways are standard practice for Xbox. Recently, it did the same with a special edition X-Men '97 console, and the release of South Park: Snow Day saw Xbox create four different Xbox Series X consoles, each featuring a main character from the game.
After a few months of small teases, Overwatch 2's collaboration with Porsche, one of the most popular luxury car brands, has finally gone live. The collab brings two Porsche-inspired skins to Overwatch 2's in-game shop: one for popular tank hero D.Va, and the other for the high-flying DPS hero Pharah. The skins are based off Porsche's Macan Turbo Electric and Taycan models respectively.
Now, Xbox is jumping in on the action. On Twitter, it revealed a new sweepstakes event featuring a Porsche and Overwatch 2-inspired Series X as the main prize. The console is primarily white and black, with a sleek red Porsche tail light running horizontally across the front. The top of the console is home to D.Va and her Tokki MEKA, both donning her in-game Porsche-inspired skin. The Overwatch logo is stamped near the bottom of the console and can also be spotted within a small gray pattern that runs throughout the design. The Series X is also accompanied by an Xbox controller made up of the same color scheme and design.
Xbox's Overwatch 2 x Porsche Series X Console
To participate in the sweepstakes event and have a chance at winning the one of a kind Series X console and its controller, fans will have to be following Xbox's Twitter account and RT the reveal tweet. Interested gamers will have plenty of time to do so, as the sweepstakes ends on June 10. Many fans under the tweet who like the design of the Overwatch 2 x Porsche console expressed their frustration that Xbox doesn't put these sweepstakes consoles up for proper sale. With Xbox having introduced official Series X console wraps last year, which allow owners to easily change the look of their consoles, they'd be a perfect avenue to get some of these sweepstakes designs into the hands of more Xbox gamers without having to manufacture whole consoles.
It's unknown how long both Porsche skins will remain in Overwatch 2's in-game shop, or whether other heroes, like Bastion or Echo, will receive similar Porsche skins at some point in the future. Nevertheless, fans should expect to be able to buy the D.Va and Pharah Porsche skins in Overwatch 2 at least past the Xbox sweepstakes' end date of June 10.
