Summary
To celebrate the release of the upcomingDeadpool & Wolverinemovie,Xboxhas revealed a custom Xbox Series X console, along with two very unique “cheeky” controllers. The new movie sees Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman reprising their roles as the titular mutants as they go on a multiverse-spanning adventure that brings them into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The officialXboxX account shared an image of the officialDeadpool-themed console, which resembles the torso of the Merc with a Mouth, with his two katanas “Bea” and “Arthur” strapped to its back.
The console is also accompanied by two controllers based on another area of Deadpool’s body, his butt, with a post byXbox Canadaproviding a better look, calling them “perfectly ergonomic.“These butt-shaped controllers are also signed by Deadpool in a fourth-wall-breaking movethat’s perfect for the character and implies he designed them himself.
The Xbox Canada account sharing this seems fitting as both Deadpool and Wolverine are Canadian.

How To Get The Deadpool-Themed Xbox Series X
Unfortunately, The Design Won’t Be On General Release
To get theDeadpool & Wolverine-themed Xbox Series X,players have until June 17, 2025, to enter a sweepstakes to win it, and to do so, they must simply follow the Xbox Canada page and repost with the hashtag #XboxCheekyControllerSweepstakes. This contest follows a tradition of sweepstakes projects devised by gaming, movie, or TV companies to drum up excitement for impending releases, with a recent Xbox and Marvel collaboration celebrating the release ofX-Men ‘97.
Whereas the main draw of theX-Men ‘97sweepstakeswas its custom console featuring comic panel-esque imagery of the X-Men fighting a sentinel on one side and an image of the team posing on the other, the Wolverine controller that came with it could easily be recreated on Xbox’s Design Lab. This isn’t the case with the Deadpool controllers, however, as itinvolves an entirely new sculpt rather than a simple recoloring.
Unfortunately, these consoles were never sold on the general retail market, making the sweepstakes the only way players stand a chance of getting one. While this is great for audience engagement as it makes the prize far more rare - and therefore more valuable - there would certainly be a market for such unique designs ifXboxwere to sell them, even in limited quantities, as is evident by the sheer number of people sharing the post on X already.
