Microsoft is partnering up with the Make-A-Wish foundation and offering some celebrity-endorsed custom Xbox One consoles for this year’s Consoles for Kids charity auction. This follows a similar collaboration in 2007, though now the list of celebrities is longer and more star-studded.

20 customized and signed Xbox One consoles will be up for auction
Petrana Radulovic is an entertainment reporter specializing in animation, fandom culture, theme parks, Disney, and young adult fantasy franchises.
Celebrities such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Ninja and Wiz Khalifa — as well as development teams behind games like Minecraft and Fallout 76 — signed 19 custom Xbox One X consoles (and one Xbox One S), ranging from sleek signatures and game-themed patterns to a close-up of Jack Black playing the saxophone.
