The ninth generation console wars are still in full swing. However, the competition is not going well for Microsoft, the manufacturer of the Xbox Series S/X. Despite the performance and price advantages it offers, the company has struggled to reach the desired sales figures. Nevertheless, they haven’t thrown in the towel just yet. Microsoft is turning to alternative marketing strategies and has launched a limited edition SpongeBob SquarePants-themed Xbox Series X. Here are the details…

Xbox Goes Nostalgic with SpongeBob SquarePants Collaboration

Microsoft’s strategy of expanding the reach of Xbox by collaborating with different brands is not new. Previously, we have seen Bluey Edition and Willy Wonka themed Xbox Series X models. Now, a special console themed after many of our childhood heroes, SpongeBob SquarePants, has been developed. This special edition will be available for purchase at Best Buy stores in the United States starting from March 7 for Xbox enthusiasts.

The SpongeBob SquarePants themed Xbox Series X naturally stands out in terms of design compared to the standard version. It seems particularly appealing to children and adults who want to reminisce about their childhood. The special Xbox Series X package, produced in limited quantities, also includes a custom controller.

The controller features images of SpongeBob’s underwater friends Squidward, Gary, and Mr. Krabs. Players who purchase this special-themed package will also receive the digital version of the fighting game “Super Brawl 2: All-Star Rumble.” In this game, players have the opportunity to control many classic cartoon characters such as the Ninja Turtles, SpongeBob SquarePants, Garfield, and Jimmy Neutron.

The price of the limited-edition Xbox Series X SpongeBob-themed package is $699. While it may be slightly higher compared to a regular Xbox Series X, the limited production, special design, controller, and additional games can justify the price for you.
