After marking his partnership with Bill Gates' Microsoft for unveiling the original Xbox twenty years ago, Dwayne Johnson has joined hands with Microsoft along with Gamers Outreach to make the holiday season special for 50,000 kids across the country battling through various illnesses. Thus, a rejoiced Dwayne was more than 'thrilled' to announce bringing joy and smiles on those kids' faces as he recently surprised a bunch of kids at the Children's Hospital Colorado with a custom Xbox Series X console. He also announced that 20 children's hospitals will be gifted with the very first batch of the new video game console which was launched this Tuesday.

The Baywatch actor also revealed that each custom box and the controller will have his Brahma Bull logo and his signature engraved with a message that reads, "Keep smiling and have fun. Love, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson". In addition to that, those hospitals will also receive Gamers Outreach (GO) karts. Those karts will be helpful for children who won't be able to leave their hospital rooms.
