Microsoft has been praised over the years for its social media game, which peaked in 2021 with the launch of the Xbox Series X mini-fridge, but it seems the company hasn't stopped there. Adding to its kitchen appliance range, Microsoft is now selling an Xbox Series S toaster, and it's available at Walmart for $39.99.
Update:
If you're feeling a little burnt that the new Xbox Series S toaster is only available in the US and France right now, fear not, as it will be rolling out globally over the next month.
“The Xbox Series S Toaster from Ukonic is now available online in the US at Walmart and in France at Micromania," a Microsoft spokesperson told TrueAchievements. "Over the next month, fans globally will see additional retailers bring these toasters to their online offerings.”
Original story:
Both the Xbox Series X and S consoles were subject to numerous memes when they were revealed, and in good humor, Microsoft went ahead and created the Xbox Series X mini-fridge in 2021. The appliances sold so well that Microsoft has since made two additional versions of the fridge, including an even smaller 4.5-liter variant. Now it's the Xbox Series S' turn for some meme-leaning fun.

The Xbox Series S toaster is a two-slice appliance styled to look just like the console — kind of. It features a wide slot, a digital countdown timer, six different shade settings so you can toast your bread to your liking, and a bagel function. As an added bonus, it also imprints the Xbox sphere onto your slice for even more gaming goodness.
It's currently available at Walmart for $39.99, and while it's only received four reviews so far (all five stars), the listing shows that over a hundred people have purchased one in the next day, so we expect plenty of other reviews will arrive in the coming weeks.
