Xbox Series X fridges have been a running joke among Xbox fans ever since the console was first revealed in December 2019, which led to various memes comparing its unique design to that of a refrigerator.
Responding to the memes,Microsoft made real, full-sized Series X fridgesin October 2020, sending one to influencer iJustine and another to rapper Snoop Dogg. The promotional items functioned exactly like a normal fridge but made the Xbox Series X boot-up sound when the door was opened.
In March 2021,Microsoftresurrected the meme byproducing some Series X mini fridgesas a promotional tie-in with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s new energy drink brand ZOA.
After a number of fans asked how they could get their own mini fridge, Xbox stated that they were only made for promotional purposes, and that while some could be won by entering sweepstakes on the Microsoft Rewards site, theyweren’t being made available for general sale.
But Microsoft changed its mind in April, when itconfirmed plans to start producing and selling the mini fridgesafter narrowly winning a Twitter marketing competition which pitted popular brands against each other.
