If you don't have a meme, how you gonna make a meme come true

After giving away a full-sized Xbox Series X fridge in 2020, Microsoft has announced a mini-fridge for the holiday season during their E3 presentation.

When the Xbox Series X was first shown at the 2019 Games Awards, memes of it resembling a fridge quickly went viral.

Assuring viewers that “yes, this is really happening”, the Xbox Mini Fridge promises an “Xbox cooling velocity architecture” for a “system that leaves others in the cold”.
