<p>16 years ago, Dwayne Johnson was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMZa-tNwAzQ">on-stage with Bill Gates</a> to help announce the original Xbox. We’re excited to be working with Dwayne again to show there is no power greater than X.</p>
<p>Yesterday, three Make-A-Wish children received the gift of a lifetime when The Rock surprised the group with a private gaming event on the set of his current movie project, “Skyscraper.” With the help of Xbox, the kids were the first to receive the world’s most powerful console, a custom Xbox One X, a full week before its November 7 global release. The custom consoles feature Dwayne’s logo, a brahma bull, and a personal holiday message.</p>
<p>Throughout the day, Dwayne gave children the VIP treatment which included personalized director chairs, a private tour of the set, exotic car rides and challenging them in video game matchups on popular Xbox titles such as <em>Super Lucky’s Tale</em>, <em>Forza Motorsport 7</em>, <em>Killer Instinct</em> as well as other games featured in Xbox Game Pass.</p>
<p>Thanks again to Dwayne, Make-A-Wish and the crew on the “Skyscraper” set for allowing us to join in on all the fun!</p>
