Porsche & Microsoft unveil limited edition Xbox Series Xs

The Xboxes will also be part of the brand's major auto & gaming-themed events across the globe.

Porsche is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. To celebrate the occasion, the carmaker has announced a collaboration with Microsoft to launch a limited-edition line of the Xbox Series Xs.

Both brands have worked together to create 6 Xbox colour schemes that honour iconic Porsche racecar liveries from the past. This includes the 1970s Salzburg & Hippie livery and 1971 Pink Pig from Le Mans featured on the 917, the 1978 Porsche Racing Edition livery on the 935/78, the 1998 911 GT1's Blue, Orange and White livery and also the livery from Porsche's most recent Le Man's competitor, the 963.

All the liveries will be reinterpreted to fit on the outside of the Xbox hardware. The liveries will further make their way onto the wireless controllers as well. The limited-edition Porsche-themed Xbox Series will not be sold, but rather raffled off as part of a sweepstakes that Porsche fans can enter until October 8, 2023. Also, the sweepstakes will be available only to customers in the US, UK & Germany. The Xboxes will also be part of the brand's major auto & gaming-themed events across the globe.

Ayesha Coker, VP of Marketing, Porsche Cars North America, Inc. stated, “With over 30,000 motorsport victories to date, it wasn’t easy to select only six liveries, but we’ve chosen some of the most iconic ones that our fans will recognize from notable victories over the years.”
