One of the more left-field announcements during Xbox's summer showcase this year was Microsoft's collaboration with Porsche on a bunch of custom Xbox Series X consoles. As is to be expected at this point, these are only available via a sweepstakes competition and you can't buy them, but Microsoft has now at least fully revealed all six designs.
The six consoles are viewable in all their glory up above, and they're based off the following cult classic Porsche racing designs:
- 75th Anniversary / Porsche 963
- Salzburg (1970)
- “Hippie” (1970)
- “Pink Pig” (1971)
- Porsche Racing Edition (1978)
- 911 GT1 (1998)
Here's the word straight from Xbox on the reasoning behind this unexpected collab:
"Xbox and its fanbase are no stranger to Porsche and the incredible capabilities of its high-performance vehicles in our beloved racing and driving games like Forza Horizon 5.
That’s why we’re excited to team up with the renowned sports car brand to create special edition Xbox hardware that celebrates their milestone anniversary given our shared vision and goal of reaching global audiences who love cars, gaming and self-expression."
Even though Xbox mentions 'global audiences' in that statement there, the competition is seemingly only available to fans in the US, UK and Germany. You can try your hand at winning one of these via the Porsche Xbox Sweepstakes website if you live in one of those three nations.
Which of these is your favourite? We like the 2nd one from the left - it's not quite as garish as the rest!

I hate everything about those. Car or console - I hate them.
I dont like any of these tbh. Now please make a Starfield one to match the controller.
All are ugly lol. But I'm sure someone will enjoy them. If i would win it I'd definitely be selling that
None of them appeal to me but then I was also not really a Porsche racing fan. The only Porsche Colours I remember were the 'Rothmans' Porsche colours. I had a Porsche 959 Tamiya Radio controlled Car in that colour scheme.
Anyway, I still prefer the plain and standard Black Series X over these. I wouldn't swap my Series X for one - even if they could be worth more in the future due to rarity...
Some of these are pretty. As always, we who live outside the three countries are children of a lesser God.
As a huge Porsche fan, some of these are absolutely fire!
@Kaloudz because Le Mans was happening that weekend and the Porsche cars had that livery.
I thinks its great that these choices are out there, choice is always good.
I've never been keen on the big black box look, but I'm not into these either so maybe the big black box is best options for me
They're all ugly.
But since we as Xbox fans are no stranger to Porsche, we should have a say on how they look.
I like the pink one
If this is what a Porche looks like, I'll have the Datsun, please!
I like 3 & 4 the most
I wish there were custom options like this available at the Microsoft store or something of that nature where I could simply buy one of these. Love fourth from the left with Martini inspiration and colors on the stripe.
Imagine a Forza inspired Series X in carbon fiber?
Take my money Microsoft!!!
Looks like an LGBTQ Xbox!! 😂😂
I want the pink one and how much?
I like the white one on the left
This makes me wonder why they showed off by far the ugliest design most prominently and first.
I like the classic Martini blue and red stripes the most, then the pink "pig" design.
