They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but no one can convince me that this Xbox Series S Oreo-themed console is even remotely appealing. It’s an affront to the eyes.
As shared by Twitter user Idle Sloth, the Xbox Series S Oreo-themed console has been revealed in all its cookie-crumbling glory. It’s a Frankenstein-like creation, where the Xbox Series S takes the place of the delicious creme filling Oreos are famous for.
Listen carefully, though, and you can hear the Xbox Series S quietly screaming for help as it struggles to free itself from its cookie-crafted prison. It appears the Xbox has also been dunked in milk, suggesting the console has been fiercely interrogated during its captivity – maybe Oreo wanted to know the next suite of Xbox Game Pass titles on the way? It’s unclear.

🍪 An Oreo-themed Xbox Series S is on the way
🤢 However, the design is rather polarizing
🎮 Microsoft has teamed up with Oreo to offer in-game content
🏅 The console will likely be given away as part of a sweepstakes competition
The custom console’s garish design means you won’t be able to place the Xbox Series S in a horizontal position, but thankfully there’s at least a cutout for the console’s fan, which should prevent overheating. You also get an Oreo-themed Xbox controller, as you’d expect.
Microsoft teamed up with the world’s most popular cookie back in January to offer in-game rewards for some of the best Xbox Series X games. Fans could also buy custom cookie designs featuring the Xbox logo and A, B, X and Y controller buttons.
The partnership saw tasteful cosmetics that represented Oreo’s brand colors – blue, white and black – but we’ve had to wait a few months for the custom Oreo hardware to appear.
Of course, as much as I dislike the look of the Xbox Series S Oreo-themed console, there will be some who love the over-the-top design. After all, many of my colleagues thought the utterly depressing McDonald’s gaming chair was a wonderful creation, and that’s why we’re no longer on speaking terms.
