Summary
Coinciding with the launch ofBluey: The Videogame,Xboxhas announced a contest where fans can potentially win aBluey-themed Xbox Series X console. This continues Xbox’s intermittent tradition of offering themed hardware in celebration of various game launches. In what is perhaps the opposite of a wholesomeBluey-themed console,Xbox recently gave away twoDiablo 4Series X modelsfor the M-rated game release. Over the summer, Xbox collaborated with Porsche for a series of exclusive consoles, which, admittedly, was more tied to the car company’s anniversary than aForzarelease. Also, Xbox’s major fall release,Starfield,coincided with a unique controller and headset.
ABluey-themed console, on the other hand, seemingly feels a bit more out of left field. However, it isn’t any more random thanXbox offering pizza-scenedTMNTcontrollerscoinciding with theMutant Mayhemmovie. For those outside the targeted demographic,Blueyis a children’s animated series that adults have also found themselves enjoying. The surprisingly smart humor, memorable theme song, and Australian accents have all helpedBlueydevelop a reputation as a series that parents enjoy watching with their children. Even adults without children have been known to tune in from time to time. Of course,Blueywouldn’t be a full-blown phenomenon among kids without a video game tie-in.
