When Microsoft first revealed the design for the Xbox Series X back in late 2019, fans quickly began to make jokes about how its blocky rectangular design made it look like a mini fridge. These jokes persisted all the way up until this year’s E3, where Xbox gave us a first look at an actual mini fridge inspired by the meme. The company has now revealed more information about the Xbox Series X Mini Fridge, including the fact that you can pre-order it next week.

Xbox Games Marketing Manager Aaron Greenberg shared new details about the Xbox Series X Mini Fridge in a new post to Xbox Wire earlier today.

We got our first look at the Xbox Series X Mini Fridge at the end of Microsoft’s E3 showcase earlier this year. Thanks to endless meming from fans, the product is becoming a reality later this year.

Pre-orders for the Xbox Series X Mini Fridge will open up on October 19, with orders shipping this December. The product costs $99.99 USD and will also be available internationally. Microsoft says the Xbox Series X Mini Fridge will expand to more markets and retailers in 2022.
