As the world awaits the launch of the Microsoft Xbox One this fall, three brands have turned to the gaming system for their newest campaign.  PepsiCo Canada’s Pepsi, Mountain Dew and Doritos brands are working with Microsoft Canada to bring Canadians an unprecedented gaming experience.

Pepsi, Mountain Dew and Doritos are also giving away more than 1,000 Xbox One consoles in the Win Every Hour contest from October 7 until December 31, 2013. To enhance this already-exciting gaming engine, players will feel immersed in the racing world.
