Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Bill Gates, Microsoft, and Xbox have teamed up to donate custom Xbox Series X consoles to 20 children’s hospitals across America.
The giveaway will hopefully reach over 50,000 kids across the nation.
The dream team partnered with the charity Gamers Outreach to provide this first batch of custom Xbox Series X consoles and specialized Gamers Outreach Karts (aka GO Karts) which are portable kiosks so kids who can't leave their hospital rooms can also enjoy the gaming experiences.
"We are thrilled to partner with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to bring next generation console gaming to children’s hospitals across the country and appreciate his consistent commitment to bringing joy to kids’ lives through the power of play with Xbox," Xbox said in a press release.
