Barnacles! Microsoft has just dropped a splashy new addition to its gaming lineup: a special-edition SpongeBob SquarePants Xbox Series X console, taking fans on a nostalgic trip to Bikini Bottom.
The console—cooked up by Xbox, Best Buy, Paramount Game Studios, and GameMill—is a vibrant tribute to the ever-optimistic sea sponge, cementing his wide smile and boxy outfit.
The accompanying wireless controller is as colorful as a healthy coral reef, decked out in a lively collage of characters from the beloved animated series, namely Patrick, Squidward, Gary, and Mr Krabs.
Adding to the underwater adventure, the bundle includes a digital download of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, where players can duke it out with an array of Nickelodeon characters, SpongeBob included, of course. With a roster that spans from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Jimmy Neutron, and even recent DLC additions like Mr Krabs, the game promises brawls that are both epic and familiar.

For those eager to get their fins on this collectible, the SpongeBob SquarePants Xbox Series X console bundle will be making waves exclusively in the US. It’s set to be available through the Best Buy Drops app, but here’s the catch of the day: there’s a limited supply.

Priced at US$699, which is US$250 above the standard Xbox Series X, this bundle might nonetheless disappear faster than a Krabby Patty at lunchtime. The sale starts at 8 am PT (11 am ET) on Thursday, March 7, 2024.
