If you are a fan of next-gen consoles, this is undoubtedly the news that will make you jump out of your chair. In fact, next summer, you may have the opportunity to enjoy a cold beer directly from your own mini fridge inspired by the Xbox Series X. The announcement came directly from Microsoft which, on the occasion of E3 2021, revealed that the product will be available for purchase as early as the next holiday season.
Xbox Series X mini fridge: all the details revealed by Microsoft
It seemed like it was just a meme, yet the mini fridge inspired by the new Xbox Series X is now a reality. Microsoft officially announced the launch last Sunday, releasing some details on the product design. Apparently, the refrigerator will have a completely black exterior, with a small white illuminated Xbox logo in the upper left corner. The interior, on the other hand, is green. In full compliance with the colors of the Microsoft console. Powered by technology "Xbox Velocity Cooling Architecture“, The mini fridge can hold up to 10/12 30/35 cl cans of beer or any other beverage.
Clearly, this is not a full-size appliance, but it seems to be large enough to guarantee us a relaxing afternoon in front of the console. Not surprisingly, the mini fridge's slogan is “Xbox and relax”. What is certain, therefore, is that Microsoft has designed the appliance to make its players happy. As for the release date and the purchase price, the company has not yet released any certain information, but it seems that before Christmas 2021 we would have the opportunity to have it at home. A great gift, don't you think?
From meme to reality: the history of Microsoft's mini fridge
In December 2019 the launch of the new Xbox Series X was undoubtedly one of the most anticipated events of the year. At the release of the console, social media literally filled with praise and criticism regarding virtually every aspect of Microsoft's new product. Among these, the design seems to have been the most criticized. On more than one occasion, users have noticed that the console's appearance was everything for everything similar to that of a refrigerator: a gray rectangular “box”. A similarity that Microsoft itself exploited when it chose to "embrace" when it publicly presented the dimensions of the new Xbox Series X, specifying that the console is actually smaller than a refrigerator.

- Xbox (@Xbox) March 16, 2020Last April, then, Xbox took part in the challenge #BestOfTweets di Twitter, where the Microsoft console has managed to earn first place by bypassing Skittles, the well-known American brand of candy. On that occasion, Aaron Greenberg, Head of Marketing at Xbox Games, had announced that if Microsoft had won the competition it would have produced a series of mini-fridges inspired by the Xbox Series X. Once the challenge was won, the company chose to keep the his promise. And here what was born as a meme has become a full-fledged product, announced on the occasion of E3 2021.
In fact, we had already seen something similar last October 2020, when Microsoft released its first refrigerator inspired by the new Xbox. On that occasion, it was a 1: 1 reproduction. An appliance almost 2 meters high, weighing almost 181 kilos, which reflected in all respects the new console. The exterior is black with a white illuminated Xbox logo, the interior is animated by a fluorescent green light and the console start-up sound that is played when the refrigerator is opened. Every single detail was thought of as a tribute to the Xbox Series X. And indeed the appliance was. To such an extent that Microsoft has decided to officially launch its Xbox Series X mini fridge to meet the expectations of console fans. And think that it all started with a meme.
