In celebration of the new Barbie movie, Microsoft has whipped up some themed items for Xbox gamers. First off, there’s a cool, very pink Xbox Series S. The console is a limited edition unit which is being given away by Microsoft. There’s also a range of vehicles being added to Forza Horizon 5 all themed around the characters Barbie and Ken.
If you don’t win the Xbox Series S, you can also stand a chance of winning some custom Xbox Wireless Controller faceplates also all themed around the franchise. They come in some striking pink colours with that typical Barbie design flair.

Microsoft says the Barbie vehicles in Forza Horizon 5 are all free and available now. They include the 956 Chevrolet Corvette EV and the 2022 GMC Hummer EV. Players simply need to head to the in-game Message Center to obtain them.
Forza Horizon 5 is also hosting a special live stream in support of the Barbie movie aimed at younger girls. Developers who worked on the Forza series will share details on their journey in gaming, motivations and personal Barbie connections. The stream will take place on 14 July on the official World of Barbie account.
This partnership doesn’t come as a surprise. Xbox has been good friends with Barbie owner Mattel for a long time. The companies worked together on the previous Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels DLC.
Keep an eye on the official Xbox channels for more Barbie-themed giveaways in the weeks ahead. Xbox is giving away the Series S, cars and more.
