Just like other recent Xbox controllers, this Armored Core 6-themed controller is generally compatible with Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and PC. The owner can also connect it wirelessly to iOS and Android mobile devices. However, the controller will not work on the legacy Xbox 360 console.

To participate in this sweepstake, people only need to have an X account, then follow the @Xbox_JP account and repost the particular tweet. Microsoft Japan has, however, published a terms and conditions page for the campaign, which includes a limitation that only allows people who are legally residing in Japan to participate.

There has been a large variety of merchandise inspired by Armored Core 6 following the game’s worldwide release in August 2023. Bandai Spirits has gradually released model kits and action figures featuring the AC units that appeared in the game. Fujimi Dragonbook is also working on a tabletop RPG based on the same game, which it will release in Spring 2025.

Microsoft will close the Japan-exclusive sweepstake for the Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon-themed Xbox controller on Monday, December 23, 2024. The game is readily available on not only Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, but also on PlayStation 5 and 4.
