According to the official announcement, the Xbox-themed chocolate wafer snacks will be embossed with custom designs, including the logo of the Xbox and the A, B, X, and Y controller buttons, among others. However, the partnership isn’t just all about making sure gamers have their fill. Each pack of the Oreos comes with a code that gamers can scan to play mini-games that may yield all sorts of Oreo-themed content in Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, and Sea of Thieves. Unfortunately, as we’ve already mentioned, the cookies are only available for a limited time and it’s exclusive in Europe.
♬ Epic Music(862463) - Draganov89 It’s weird for Xbox to launch a branding deal with an international snack brand like Oreo and make it exclusive to Europe, especially when the rewards are digital. We’re pretty sure Xbox fans around the globe - the last we heard, the Xbox Series S/X is catching up to the PS5 in sales - can’t help but feel jealous of the blue, white, and black striped convertible that European Xbox owners can redeem in Forza Horizon 5. Fingers crossed, Microsoft learns its lesson and launches a worldwide partnership deal the next time. Speaking of Microsoft, insiders just doubled down on the rumors that the tech giant will hold a showcase this month. The most recent reports claim that the upcoming event will be called the Developer Direct and will resemble the PlayStation State of Play in format and length. Unfortunately, Starfield might not be a part of the lineup for the first-ever Developer Direct.
