The collaborative universe of gaming and movies is no stranger to surprises. This time, the eeriness of Saw X, which is set to premiere on September 29, is merging with the gaming giant, Xbox. The two worlds will collide in an inventive promotion, tantalizing both Saw enthusiasts and Xbox aficionados.
Who’d have thought that John Kramer, the infamous Jigsaw, would be your key to bagging a brand new Xbox?
Lionsgate, the brilliant mind behind the Saw series, has partnered with Xbox, promising an interactive and community-focused stream that will take place on September 27 at 11 AM PT via the Xbox account on Twitch.

Taking inspiration from the excruciating challenges that the Saw series is so renowned for, this livestream tasks the Xbox community with deciphering trap-like puzzles. The stakes? An Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. But that’s not all. Each of the participants stand a chance to win not just an Xbox, but also intriguing Saw collectibles and coveted Xbox Game Pass subscriptions.
So, how does one break free from Jigsaw’s grasp and claim the tempting rewards? If you’re familiar with Twitch streams where users punch in certain commands via messages in the chat, you’re already ahead of the game. Participants must unravel the traps by selecting the right decisions through these chat commands. It’s a tantalizing blend of community cooperation and individual cunning. Will the Xbox community come together, overcoming the mischievous intents of trolls, to unlock these prizes? The challenge, as captivating as it sounds, is up in the air, as this kind of live collaboration can often be a wild card.
It’s no secret that interactive streams are notoriously unpredictable. Mischievous fans will likely fire off commands, but one thing’s certain: success hinges on the majority rallying together. The most pressing mystery, however, isn’t just how to solve Jigsaw’s trap, but how winners will be picked and the exact number of Xbox consoles and other prizes that will be handed out. Xbox remains enigmatic about these specifics, adding another layer of suspense to the event.
On the movie front, Saw X is primed to be an enthralling addition to the series. Set between the events of Saw I and II, this installment takes viewers on a chilling journey with John Kramer as he embarks on a vengeful mission after being falsely promised a cure for his cancer. It promises a fusion of past narratives with new, spine-chilling twists, maintaining the franchise’s reputation for gripping storytelling.
The Saw X promotion doesn’t just stop with Xbox. Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures are widening the net, roping in even an unlikely community in Roblox players with an obstacle course crafted by none other than Jigsaw. This challenge will force players to think on their feet, making split-second decisions to survive. Swift thinkers stand to win exclusive Saw-themed cosmetics for their Roblox avatars, blending the chilling aesthetics of Saw with the playful world of Roblox.
It’s a thrilling time for Saw devotees and Xbox fans. The worlds of cinema and gaming are melding in ways we’ve never seen before. And as the lines blur, fans stand to gain with unforgettable experiences and stellar prizes.
Speaking of Xbox, did you know that revamped versions of both incumbent consoles are coming next year? But, that’s not all. A brand new controller is also coming out around the same time. Finally, Phil Spencer warns that a price hike for the Game Pass is inevitable.
