Pizza Hut is giving away an Xbox One S every hour during the holiday season

Nothing goes better with a gaming marathon than some pepperoni and cheese and if you do not own an Xbox One, you will have the opportunity to get both this holiday season. Microsoft and Pizza Hut have partnered to give away a free Xbox One S every hour through December 24.

Every customer who orders the Triple Treat Box — containing two medium pizzas, bread sticks, and a giant cookie — will be given an entry code for a “chance to win an Xbox One S 500GB console and custom Pizza Hut designed controller, as well as an instant offer for $10 off select Xbox One games while supplies last.”

The controller, which you can see in the image above, features the Pizza Hut logo in its center so your friends will know you received your console with a side of marinara dipping sauce.

Also available as part of the promotion are $10 vouchers toward the purchase of “select Xbox One games.” The current listing on Microsoft’s website suggests that new games such as Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3, and ReCore are available as part of the promotion, as well as earlier Xbox One games like Rise of the Tomb Raider and Sunset Overdrive. Pretty much any game included in the offer will be a great way to introduce yourself to the system.

The Xbox One S is available in retail stores and online for $300, but should you not win one with your pizza, you may want to consider purchasing the original Xbox One, instead. A “name your game” bundle, containing a 500GB system as well as one game, is available on Amazon for about $250. The original Xbox One does not have a 4K Blu-ray drive or HDR, however.

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.
