Xbox Collaborates with “Wonka” to Create Edible Controller (and Inedible Wonka Tech)

Life is truly like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get, and a collaboration between Xbox and the upcoming film “Wonka” is certainly unpredictable. 

Xbox and Warner Bros. have teamed up to create a series of limited-edition Wonka tech, as well as a chocolate Xbox controller and some truffles, to promote the upcoming movie “Wonka.” The film serves as an origin story for Willy Wonka before he became the mastermind we know him as in “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” so it makes sense the collab is so heavy in deliciousness. The controller is 100% pure chocolate and 100% edible, as well as being wrapped in exquisite gold foil. If that wasn’t enough, the prize package includes five truffles to accompany your Xbox gaming with tastes including:

  • Achievement Hunting: Delicious chocolate with a boost of energy ingredients, which helps with long-term gaming focus. Time to rack up that Gamerscore.
  • Button Masher: Buzzing with bold espresso to keep your reactions crisp and your head in the game.
  • Your Citrus Sidekick: Chocolate and orange team up for a sunny burst of flavor, in honor of the fruitful variety of games available on Xbox Game Pass.
  • Xtra Kick: Balances out the sweet with just the right amount of heat. Just like any end boss, this gets you a little fired up but yields sweet rewards.
  • Wonka for the Win: Sometimes the greatest joys in life are also the simplest. So, this treat focuses on the essence of what makes a great truffle: the chocolate. 100% pure, decadently delicious chocolate.

As for the tech, which includes a wireless controller, Xbox Series X console, and storefront console stand, each piece will be custom Wonka-themed. Unfortunately, no matter how tasty the chocolate bar console looks, it is inedible. 

Starting today, fans of chocolate and Xbox can head over to the official Xbox X/Twitter account to enter sweepstakes for the Wonka treats. By following the account and reposting the official sweepstakes post, individuals will be entered to win the prizes. These items will not be sold retail, so this is the one and only chance to obtain them. The sweepstakes run from November 13, 2023 to December 14, 2023. Further information can be found on the official Xbox website

“Wonka” is playing in theaters internationally and in IMAX on December 8, 2023, with nationwide release being December 15, 2023.
