What you need to know
The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S duo of current-gen consoles have been wonderful for millions of players, but they’re undeniably boring in their perpetual black and white colorways. Players have been clamoring for more special and limited edition versions of the consoles, but almost every single one that has appeared were bespoke units made for extremely limited giveaways or events. Well, until today, that is; Xbox has announced a new limited-edition Xbox Series X, and you’ll actually be able to buy it (maybe).
Announced viaXbox Wire, the Xbox Series X — Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Special Edition Bundle was designed via collaboration between Xbox, Nickelodeon, Best Buy, Paramount Game Studios, and GameMill. It transforms the rectangular console into one of the most iconic characters in all of animated cartoons… Who also happens to be square by nature. The Xbox Series X looks dashing as SpongeBob, but the Xbox Wireless Controller is custom, too, showing off several legendary SpongeBob characters in a colorful collage.

It’s honestly a very fitting limited-edition console, and will include a copy of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, the follow-up (and much improved) cross-universe multiplayer fighting game to the firstNickelodeon All-Star Brawl. That means you’ll be able to deck it out as SpongeBob on your SpongeBob console. How fun. Unfortunately, while youcanbuy this console, most people probably won’t be able to.
The Xbox Series X — Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Special Edition Bundle will only be available in very limited quantities in the United States of America via Best Buy Drops, which in turn are only available via theBest Buy mobile appon Android and iOS. If you want this bundle (I get it, I want it, too), then download the app, turn on notifications, set aside$699, and prepare to blitz through the buying process at8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET on Thursday, Mar. 7, 2024. It’s not clear exactly how many consoles will be available to purchase, but I can’t expect it’s a lot.
Alternatively, you can stick with the existing and widely availableXbox Series XandXbox Series Sconsoles, and enjoy some of thebest Xbox gameswithout scrambling to pick up a special edition. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 is also on sale for just$24.99 at Microsoft Store (Xbox)right now, letting you enjoy a SpongeBob-ified experience without the dedicated hardware. If you do want the limited-edition Xbox Series X, though, you’ll need to act fast when it goes live later this week.
