Summary

  • Xbox has teamed up with Coca-Cola to create Fanta-themed Series X consoles and controllers.
  • There are six controllers modeled after different flavors of Fanta and two consoles.
  • You can win items from the collection by scanning QR codes on Fanta bottles in participating countries.

Xbox has released a lot of very limited edition consoles and controllers that can only be obtained through contests during its Series X|S era, and this week it's back with the strangest one yet - yes, even stranger than the Deadpool butt controller. Xbox's newest giveaway revolves around Fanta with six of its controllers, and two Series X consoles, getting makeovers inspired by some of the soft drink's flavors.

The contest is now live across eight countries but unfortunately, the US isn't one of them. The QR codes you will need to scan to be in a chance of winning a Fanta controller, Series X, or a free month of Game Pass are only printed on bottles in the UK, France, Spain, and five other European countries (thanks, VGC).

The flavor themes available to you will also differ depending on where you live. Those of you in the UK, for example, can only win the orange, lemon, and fruit twist-themed controllers, and presumably the yellow lemon Series X. Only two of the flavor themes will get their own Series X - lemon, and the other isn't clear as it hasn't yet been shown off by Fanta's creators, Coca-Cola.

To enter the contest, you will need to scan the QR code on the side of a Fanta bottle and that will take you to th Coca-Cola app. There, you will be told whether or not you have won a free month of Game Pass Ultimate and entered into a weekly draw for the chance to win a controller. There will be 15 controllers given away, two per week for the next six weeks, and then one each week for the final three. You will also be entered into the Grand Draw for the chance two win of the two Fanta-themed consoles.

If you're already a Game Pass subscriber, you won't be able to use any free months you win through this contest to extend your membership. They're for new members only.

While there are more controllers to give away than usual compared to previous Xbox contests, this does feel like another example of limiting controllers people would happily pay for. The aforementioned Deadpool controller, its matching Wolverine one, and the ones that came with a matching Palworld Series S are just a few of the many examples of accessories Xbox owners wish they could buy, but Xbox won't let them.
