The Xbox Series X mini fridge was basically a meme turned into a real product when it launched back in late 2021, so we never really expected to see anything like it again. However, it's looking like this console-meets-fridge might not be the final Xbox-themed kitchen appliance on the way.
According to a post by French outlet Xbox Squad, an actual toaster based off the Xbox Series S console design is in the works. Seriously, an Xbox toaster. What is going on here?!
Unless this is some sort of early April Fools joke, the outlet appears to have some sort of partnership with a retailer in France and Belgium to get this thing shipped to customers - the above tweet contains a registration form of sorts for fans in those two regions.
In a full article posted by Xbox Squad, the source also claims that a full range of Xbox-themed products is on the way - including dinner plate sets, Series X-themed pen holders and more.
However, we're not entirely sure at this stage if any of these products are officially licensed like the Series X mini fridge was. We haven't heard a peep from Microsoft on any of this yet — or from any other source in the US / UK — so we're taking this whole thing with a pinch of salt right now. Or a good spread of melted butter, we should say.
Should we hear anything official we'll of course bring you the news, but it's best to treat this whole thing as a rumour for now. An Xbox Series S toaster though... that'd really be something!
What do you make of all this? Interested in a Series S toaster? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Microsoft really wearing their design influences on their sleeve here. An eventual “Series ?” is probably going to look like a kettle or something.
@Kaloudz Definitely salty
It can only make french toast apparently....
Thank you for inserting your bread. Your toast has been delayed into 2024.
Truly, a product of the upper crust. 🍞 🧐 🤣
@Microbius Don't forget how "evil and disastrous" cross-play is! 🤣 🤣
I would maybe get a portable radio with a big speaker as the black dot, but the toaster is a bit too much. (I type as I sit near my Xbox fridge)
Xbox fridge made more sense; it was both having a good-natured and self-deprecating laugh with the internet jokes, AND was a useful staple of every game room. Mini-fridges full of soda/beer/energy drinks goes hand-in-hand with gaming.
But a toaster? I dunno. Feels like trying a little too hard to capture lightning in a bottle twice.
About the most exciting news where going to get on an xbox website the month 😂
PlayStation push square showing off final fantasy 16
And is lot get a series s toaster belting
This is obviously a power move in response to the release of the PSVR 2. Ball's in Sony's court now... they are sorely lacking in the kitchen appliance arena of the console wars and Microsoft knows it.
Everything but games smh
