\nIt\u2019s the world\u2019s most powerful running joke: Microsoft\u2019s Xbox Series X-themed mini fridge will be available for sale later this year. Fans and journalists alike have been saying for over a year that the Series X, the deluxe version of Microsoft\u2019s latest Xbox console, looks more like a mini fridge \u2014 or a brick, or a monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey \u2014 than a video game system. Now, Microsoft has leaned into that with its latest gaming accessory. In April, the Xbox narrowly edged Skittles out in a Twitter competition called the \u201cBrand Bracket.\u201d Microsoft GM Aaron Greenberg had promised earlier that, should Xbox win, they\u2019d go ahead and make official Xbox mini fridges. Now Microsoft is following through. In a particularly bombastic trailer, it promises to \u201cleave others cold\u201d with its new Series X lookalike cooler, the \u201cworld\u2019s most powerful mini fridge.\u201d The mini fridge is depicted as being big enough to keep at least nine cans of your chosen beverage cold, and just like Halo Infinite, will debut at an unspecified point in \u201cHoliday 2021.\u201d The mockup unit in the trailer features a black exterior over an interior compartment that\u2019s painted the obnoxiously neon green that used to be the Xbox\u2019s trademark color, with a glowing Xbox icon on the upper left-hand corner. It\u2019s also got the Series X\u2019s speaker-style vents on top, though the fridge\u2019s are strictly there for style points. No pricing, other features, or other details have been confirmed. It\u2019s also unknown whether this will be a limited-run collectible sort of deal, or if Microsoft\u2019s just going to go into the themed appliance business now. Maybe they\u2019ll follow up with the Series S-themed beer cozy. Who even knows anymore. Related: Halo, Forza, Starfield, Redfall: Microsoft and Bethesda unveil 30 new games coming to Xbox<\/p>\n
