Go Fast! Introducing “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” Custom Xbox Controllers

You must be quicker than Sonic to catch the controllers and stronger than Knuckles. Xbox and Paramount Pictures have teamed up to celebrate the upcoming film “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” to release a limited time only, custom Xbox Series S console and Xbox Wireless Controllers through two enter–to-win sweepstakes, (see rules) inspired by Sonic, voiced by Ben Schwartz, and Knuckles, voiced by Idris Elba.

A customized, black Xbox Series S console comes with a portal ring that shines in the center and an embossed Sonic the Hedgehog 2 logo. With textured coatings reminiscent of the “bristly” texture of hedgehogs in the wild, the new Xbox Wireless Controllers come in Sonic Blue and Knuckles Red.

Together over the past 20 years, Xbox and Sonic have been a storied part of how gaming has evolved into the most popular form of entertainment – a beloved and nostalgic character across generations and among families. Sonic fans will be able to visit some of its most iconic areas, including the Green Hills Zone. Sonic the Hedgehog Minecraft DLC is available to download from the Minecraft Marketplace. There are 24 themes to choose from, achievements to complete, characters to meet and rings to help players speed up their journey to becoming their favourite hedgehog. On April 5, be sure to check out the Minecraft Marketplace for an exciting update to the DLC, with six new skins and a new challenge in the Labyrinth Zone, to celebrate the release of “Sonic the Hedgehog 2.” For even more Sonic games, including your favorite classics, check out the Microsoft Store on Xbox.

Fans can enter two sweepstakes for a chance to win the exclusive custom Xbox Series S and both the Sonic Blue and Knuckles Red Xbox Wireless Controllers by either (1) retweeting the official Xbox sweepstakes tweet and including the hashtag #XboxSonic2Sweepstakes, or (2) for fans in the US, by redeeming Microsoft Rewards points. You can find more information about the Microsoft Rewards and Twitter sweepstakes at the official terms & conditions.
