Xbox unveils a brand new PINK Xbox Series S to celebrate the launch of the Barbie movie – but there’s a huge catch
- Microsoft has unveiled a brand new pink version of its Xbox Series S console
- It has also launched 5 controller faceplates designed on Barbie and Ken’s outfits
It’s one of the most highly anticipated movies of the summer, and now even Xbox is joining in on the Barbie hype.
The gaming giant has unveiled a brand new pink version of its Xbox Series S console to celebrate the film’s imminent launch.
“From her dream home to her dream closet, Barbie’s iconic style is unparalleled,” Xbox explains.
“Now you can add her fashion genius to your gaming setup.”
Unfortunately, there’s a catch with the new console: it’s not available to buy, and instead only a lucky few fans will have a chance to win it in a giveaway next month.

The incredible bright pink console has ‘Barbie’ written on the front.
In addition, the console is built into the bottom floor of a glamorous three-story Barbie dream house.
On the second and third floors, respectively, are Barbie’s living room and bedroom, both of which are (obviously) fully decked out in pink furniture.
Xbox has also unveiled five interchangeable faceplates for the Xbox Wireless Controller, designed after Barbie and Ken’s different outfits on screen.
Unfortunately, the Barbie-inspired Xbox Series S and controller faceplates are not for sale, but will be part of an exciting giveaway next month.
“Fans have a chance to win these starting July 10th on @Xbox and Microsoft Rewards,” Xbox added.
Despite not being available for purchase, several eager fans have taken to Twitter to discuss the new gadgets.
“wait why is this making me about to switch from playstation to xbox,” one user wrote.
Another added, “I’m not even a console gamer, but I need this immediately.”
And one quipped, “playstation, drop the oppenheimer ps5 now.”
The news comes shortly after Warner Bros Entertainment released a free tool called the Barbie Selfie Generator that turns your photos into Barbie movie posters.
To test the tool yourself, click Start and you’ll be prompted to take or upload a photo of yourself.
Once you’re happy with your selection, click Continue and your selfie will be turned into a movie poster.
To move your image, select the arrow on the right and you can zoom in or out and move the selfie from left to right.
The tool automatically selects a slogan for you, such as “This Barbie is an optimist” or “This Barbie is an astronaut.”
However, if you’re not happy with your tagline, you can edit it by clicking the pencil icon and typing your favorite tagline in the text box.
If you prefer your poster to be for Ken, you can also customize it under the pencil icon.
Finally, you can choose to change the color of the glitter behind you by clicking the palette icon on the right.
Once you’re happy with your poster, click Continue and you’ll be given the option to download or share it on social media.
