The Xbox Series S toaster: An actual kitchen gadget for gamers

Discover the Xbox Series S toaster, a unique kitchen appliance that combines practical features with gaming flair, imprinting the Xbox logo onto your toast.

If you’re a fan of gaming and toast, you’re in for a treat. The Series S toaster, a kitchen appliance inspired by gaming culture, has finally arrived. This unique toaster performs its primary function of toasting bread and adds a touch of gaming flair by imprinting the Xbox sphere logo onto your toast. This quirky kitchen gadget is a delightful addition to any gaming enthusiast’s home.

A toaster that brings gaming into the kitchen

The idea of an Xbox-themed toaster surfaced about a year ago on French websites. It’s now a reality and available at Walmart for US$39.99, as reported by Wario64. Designed to resemble the Xbox Series S, complete with the console’s signature black air vent, this toaster is more than just a novelty item. It has practical features like six browning levels, a removable crumb tray, an LED countdown timer, and a defrost button. But the highlight, of course, is its ability to brand your bread with the iconic Xbox logo – a dream come true for dedicated gamers.

Gaming-inspired appliances: A growing trend

This isn’t a gaming company’s first venture into kitchen appliances. Bungie previously released a Destiny-themed toaster, capable of burning the game’s Tricorn logo onto bread. Similarly, teased a toaster as an April Fool’s Day joke, although it never materialised into a real product.

The future of Xbox-themed home appliances

Following the success of the Xbox Series X mini fridge, which originated from memes poking fun at the console’s refrigerator-like appearance, the Xbox Series S toaster expands Microsoft’s foray into themed home appliances. The prospect of a full range of Xbox-inspired kitchen and home appliances is tantalising. Imagine an Xbox microwave, kettle, or even a washing machine, each adding a touch of gaming magic to everyday household tasks. True Xbox fans might soon find their kitchens and homes filled with appliances that serve their practical purposes and display their passion for gaming.

With the increasing crossover between gaming and other aspects of life, who knows what other Xbox-themed appliances might be on the horizon?
