The next generation of Xbox and PlayStation consoles has resulted in some incredible improvements to video games. From crystal clear 4K graphics to super-fast SSDs that significantly reduce load times, these new consoles have been a game changer for those who have been fortunate enough to obtain one. These new consoles, particularly the Xbox Series X, have distinct designs in addition to more powerful hardware.
The Xbox Series X, which was released at the end of 2020, had a new design when compared to previous Xbox console iterations. The console, which was shaped like a block, had a straightforward appearance. While many fans praised the system’s unobtrusive design, some thought the system’s rectangular shape reminded them of a refrigerator. Because of this resemblance, the internet became famous for the Xbox fridge meme. However, Xbox has decided to capitalize on the meme by selling an Xbox Series X Mini Fridge.
Recently, Xbox General Manager Aaron Greenberg tweeted new information about the Xbox Series X Mini Fridge. He revealed in the tweet that, after seeing the popularity of the Mini Fridge idea, Xbox decided to make the meme a reality by releasing the product. Greenberg stated that he had already tested the device and that “it works like a champ.”
LED lighting, a USB port, and AC and DC power adapters are among the design details of the Mini Fridge. Greenberg claims that the unit holds 10 12oz beverage cans and has two shelves attached to the door. Aside from these features, the fridge’s external dimensions are 462mm H x 232mm W x 232mm D, and its internal dimensions are 352.3mm H x 174mm W x 175mm D.
In addition to providing more information about the upcoming product, Xbox revealed how fans can purchase one of these mini fridges. The company announced that pre-orders for the product will begin on October 19, with units expected to arrive in stores in December. In addition, Xbox fans discovered that the mini fridge costs $99.99 and is only available at Target in the United States.

Aside from this mini fridge, the company has also produced a full-size Xbox Series X Fridge. This product, standing 6-foot tall and weighing 400 pounds, was a functional refrigerator that resembled an Xbox Series X. However, due to its smaller size, it appears that Xbox’s new mini fridge design may appeal to a wider audience.
It will be interesting to see if this Xbox Series X mini fridge is more readily available than the Xbox Series X. However, that shouldn’t be too difficult given how difficult it has been to find Microsoft’s next-generation console since its release last November.
