Hungry for some swag? Microsoft, Taco Bell team up to give away gaming consoles

Add as a preferred source on Google

Just in time for the spookiest time of year, Xbox is handing out plenty of treats with no tricks attached. The best part is, there are a few ways to enter, including by eating a bunch of deep-fried tacos from Taco Bell.

Now until Saturday, November 23, Xbox and Taco Bell are collaborating once again to give away a variety of Xbox One swag to several lucky (and hungry) consumers. Among the prizes you can win is a limited-edition gaming system, the Xbox One X Eclipse, which will make the iconic Taco Bell ring noise each time you power up the console. The Xbox One X Eclipse bundle will also include a second series Xbox Elite Wireless Controller, which will officially launch on November 4, meaning several winners will receive the new controller a few weeks or days ahead of its release date.

Additional prizes up for grabs include a six-month membership for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which provides you with an Xbox Live membership, as well as access to Microsoft’s gaming subscription-based service featuring more than 100 first- and third-party console and PC games.

There are a few ways you can enter the giveaway, either by purchasing the Double Chalupa Box (which comes with the titular deep-fried item, plus a taco, some cinnamon twists, and a drink), which will set you back around $5. Each Double Chalupa Box will contain a code. The box will also contain a 14-day access code to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, making everyone a winner to some extent.

Fortunately, there is another option out there for those who may not be a fan of the fast-food establishment. If you are still interested in participating but want to skip the tacos, you can mail a letter to Taco Bell’s corporate office and request a code.

Regardless of which route you choose to enter the contest, you will need to enter the code on the official giveaway website or by texting your code to 72823. Keep in mind that contestants will be limited to one entry per day.

Well… at least God of War Laufey is getting a physical disc

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release

Samsung Display’s Gaming-optimized OLED Products Showcased at COMPUTEX 2026

Samsung Display has introduced OBLYX, its first dedicated OLED brand for gaming laptops, as the company looks to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the PC market. The announcement was made at Bilibili World 2026 (BW2026) in Shanghai, marking Samsung Display's first appearance at China's largest gaming and anime convention.

Rather than unveiling a new display technology, Samsung is creating a recognizable identity for its gaming-focused OLED panels, much like established branding for processors or graphics cards. The move also hints at the company's ambitions in China, where demand for OLED-equipped gaming laptops is accelerating rapidly, according to a Digital Today report.

Razer’s Sanrio collaboration has already produced a full desk setup, and the final drop is now here. The company has launched the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, a wireless headset themed around one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy from Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty and several other globally recognized character brands. He is known for his long floppy ears, blue eyes, curly tail, and soft cloud-like look. As per the Sanrio lore, he was born high above the clouds and can fly by flapping his big ears. Razer has leaned heavily into that identity for this headset, replacing the usual kitty look with Cinnamoroll’s floppy ears and a sky-blue color scheme.
