Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Furry Controllers Are Racing Towards One Lucky Winner With Xbox Sweepstakes

Xbox and Paramount Pictures have officially joined forces to celebrate the upcoming theatrical release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and are giving players the opportunity to take home a custom Xbox Series S console and two furry controllers – blue and red – which are inspired by the two main characters from the film: Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna respectively. Entries for the contest started on March 22nd, 2022, and will conclude on April 30th, 2022 at 11PM EST with those residing in any of the Xbox Live supported regions eligible to enter for their chance to win this prize pack. Players can find a complete list of Terms and Conditions as well as more information on the contest website.

This one of a kind Xbox Series S features a black body – standard colour is white – with a golden portal ring embossed with images of Sonic g (voiced by Ben Swartz) and Knuckles (voiced by Idris Elba) directly underneath it. The unique controllers – not joking – are textured with faux fur and are designated with the Sonic Blue and Knuckles Red colour names. Players interested in participating and become the envy of their friends and gaming community can race over to the official Xbox Twitter account and retweet the original message with #XboxSonic2Sweepstakes in the quote or by redeeming Microsoft Rewards points to receive bonus entries; the latter of which is available to those in the United States only.

Those looking to expand their Sonic the Hedgehog horizons and explore iconic locations from the franchise can do so with their friends in Minecraft courtesy of the Sonic the Hedgehog DLC which is available to download through the Minecraft Marketplace right now. It comes with 24 popular skins including Shadow the Hedgehog, Tails, and Amy Rose as well as achievements to unlock and a super challenging Eggman Mode to conquer. Players can return on April 5th, 2022 to check out an update which adds six new skins and a new challenge in the Labyrinth Zone – to celebrate the film.

Catch Sonic the Hedgehog 2 when it races exclusively into theatres on April 8th, 2022 in Canada.
