Microsoft may not be winning the console sales race against Sony, but it finally has something to offer that the PS5 can’t easily beat: toast. Yes, you’ve read that right.

There is now an official Xbox Series S toaster. It can toast two slices of bread at the same time, neatly branding them with the Xbox logo – it smells basically the same as your Series S trying to run Baldur’s Gate 3, only you get something edible out of the whole deal. In addition to these features, it comes with a bagel function, a digital countdown timer, and six toasting grades.

It’s a good thing the Series S doesn’t have a disc drive, otherwise there might be some rather regrettable accidents with misplaced discs being toasted instead of bread.

Gamers have made fun of how both the Xbox Series X and Series S look from the moment the two consoles were first revealed to the public, likening them to various kitchen appliances. Not one to let a good opportunity go to waste, Microsoft leaned into the whole meme and released an Xbox Series X mini-fridge in the past, now following it up with the Series S toaster.

It’s available for $39.99 USD at Walmart right now, so if you have a relative you want to prank by getting them a “new Xbox” as a present, here’s your chance.

Want to place any bets on what appliance Microsoft wants to release next?
