A new mini fridge design has just been revealed by Xbox, and the brand has used the Creeper enemy from Minecraft as its main inspiration. Many fans have probably enjoyed seeing the previous mini fridge based on the Xbox Series X, but this time, the design will likely be more enticing for hardcore players of Minecraft, one of Microsoft’s most popular titles to date.
There has been a lot of Xbox news circulating online, particularly that of Microsoft’s pending acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Both Xbox and PlayStation fans are probably on edge, wondering how this highly anticipated acquisition will play out and what the future will be like for title exclusivity between these consoles. Nevertheless, Microsoft seems to be interested in softening the serious updates by announcing the reveal of the Minecraft-themed mini fridge in the midst of all the acquisition headlines.
Unveiling the product online, Microsoft announced that a new Xbox mini fridge themed after the Minecraft Creeper will be available for purchase through Walmart. With a price of $98.00, the cooler stands at a little over two-feet tall and comes with two compartments. It is shaped and colored almost exactly like a Creeper, but also offers the grand combination of form and function. The mini fridge can hold and chill up to 12 cans of the owner’s chosen drink, which is probably perfect for those looking to add something interesting to look at in a home office or gaming room.
For fans who already have a big collection of Minecraft-themed products and merchandise, the Creeper mini fridge will probably be great to add to their personal collection. What’s more, residents in the United States can already order the appliance through Walmart’s online store and have it delivered to their address in a couple of days. Replies of Xbox fans on the official Twitter announcement also show the community’s enthusiasm and desire to actually purchase the mini fridge, which hopefully bodes well for sales of the product.
With new games being added to Xbox Game Pass on a regular basis, there has been a lot of active engagement within the player base. And with announcements of physical merchandise themed after popular titles like Minecraft, Xbox is generating a lot of hype and activity for its community. If sales of the Minecraft Creeper mini fridge do become successful, hopefully more designs based on other Xbox titles will be added into the pipeline by the brand.
