Microsoft Is Giving Away An Oil Painting Of The Rock’s Original Xbox Reveal

If you’ve been an Xbox fan for long enough, you might remember the iconic moment from CES 2001 when the original Xbox was revealed…by none other than Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Wouldn’t you love to hang a beautiful oil painting of that very specific moment on the wall of your home?

Weird question, admittedly, but Xbox and The Rock seem to think some folks might be interested. Enough that they made it the centerpiece of a giveaway tied in with today’s Xbox 20th Anniversary celebrations (admittedly alongside a glorified ad for The Rock’s latest movie, Red Notice).

In an appearance during the anniversary stream, The Rock encouraged fans to visit xboxvault.com to enter a giveaway for “hundreds” of prizes, including the aforementioned oil painting, custom Xbox hardware themed after Red Notice, Game Pass cards, and plenty more. At the time we’re writing this, the Xbox Vault website isn’t up yet, so it’s unclear what the criteria for the giveaway, but we’ll update this once it becomes available.

Xbox 20th Anniversary New Backwards Compatible Games

This is far from the first time that The Rock has done giveaways and other promotions with Xbox, including one he did last year to give away Xbox Series X consoles to Children’s Hospitals.

There were a handful of other announcements today tied to the Xbox anniversary celebrations, including the addition of over 70 new games to Xbox Backwards Compatibility, and the surprise early release of Halo Infinite multiplayer.
