First came the Xbox Fridge, now here’s the Series S Suitcase

Xbox has created another promotional item designed to look like one of its consoles, and this time it’s a suitcase.

A collaboration between Xbox Australia & New Zealand and luggage company July, the Xbox Series S suitcase looks like the console, right down to the black circular vent on the side.

The suitcase was sent to a number of Australian influencers to promote today’s console release of Microsoft Flight Simulator.

However, the company is also giving one away in a Twitter competition (open to people from Australia and New Zealand only).

The suitcases also come with an Xbox Series S and controller included. The ones sent to influencers also had their Gamertags printed on the back.

This isn’t the first time Microsoft has created a promotional item shaped like one of its consoles.

The company made real, house-sized Series X refrigerators and sent them to influencers last year, including YouTuber iJustine and rapper Snoop Dogg.

The promotional items, which were based on a popular meme, function exactly as a normal fridge would but with an Xbox Series X design, complete with boot-up music upon opening its door.

Xbox then teamed up with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to send influencers real Xbox Series X mini-fridges, in a stunt designed to promote the actor’s new energy drink brand.

Xbox initially said it would not make the fridges generally available, but it changed its mind after Xbox won a Twitter poll for the most popular brand.

The highly sought-after Xbox Fridge was the final announcement of Microsoft and Bethesda’s E3 Showcase last month, confirming that they will be available to purchase this holiday season.

The Series S suitcase, however, will not be made available to buy, at least for now.
