We’ve seen plenty of talk about the size of this generation’s consoles, but one YouTuber has surpassed them all with an enormous Xbox Series X.
Frustrated thatMicrosoft’s Xbox Series X fridgewasn’t an actual functioning console, YouTuber Michael Pick decided to go one better “I decided to make a giant Xbox that actually worked,” he said ina new video.
Pick starts by building a wooden frame before 3D printing individual parts to fill the inside. Of course, not only does this unit capture the appearance ofMicrosoft’s flagship console, but it’s also fully functional. Housing a custom drawer at the back, Pick’s 3D printed a bracket that holds a standardXbox Series X, placing server motors over each key button that connect up to the corresponding super-sized buttons on the exterior.
You can see that in full below:
the resulting super-sized console has set a new Guinness World Record for the world’s largest Xbox, coming in at 2.08m x 1.04m x 1.04m. Pick and design company ZHC aren’t keeping this Xbox Series X, either. It’s since been donated to the YMCA Youth and Teen Development Center in Atlanta, GA.
DIY consoles are in fashion
This isn’t the first custom console we’ve seen in recent days, though it’s certainly on the opposite end of the scale. WhileSonyhasn’t officially announced aPS5 Slimjust yet, fellow YouTuber Matthew ‘DIY Perks’ Perks recently took up the challenge. Creating his own PS5 Slim that’s only 2cm tall, he used a workaround with the power unit, but it’s still a workingPS5model.
I’ve not seen anyone attempt a slim Xbox Series X design yet, and there’s been no word from Microsoft to confirm an official redesign. While we’ve previously seen slimmer redesigns like theXbox One S, it might not be necessary this time around. Thanks to the company’s dual approach to this console generation with theXbox Series S, Microsoft’s already set for a smaller console.
