Xbox Series X Mini Fridge goes on pre-order October 19

In the middle of this year, Microsoft even launched a challenge for Xbox players to vote in favor of the console on Twitter against the profile of Skittles, a popular chocolate maker in the US. If Xbox won, Xbox Marketing Manager Aaron Greenberg said he would release mini fridges based on the Xbox Series X. Today it was finally announced by Microsoft that the mini fridge in the Xbox Series X will go on pre-order next week.

Xbox Series X: Microsoft joins the bandwagon and launches refrigerator with video game look

What led to the emergence of the Xbox Series X mini fridge launch proposal?

In March 2021, after several gamer memes on Twitter, Microsoft joined in the fun and tweeted an image of the Xbox Series X next to a refrigerator showing the measurements of both.

Last year, the company even created a refrigerator-shaped replica of the Xbox Series X and delivered one to artist Snoop Dogg. The refrigerator/Xbox Series X was 1,8m high and weighed 180kg.

The one.

The only.
