Some people say that theXbox Series Xlookslike a refrigerator, but that’s not the fridge that’s going viral right now in the Xbox world. Instead, it’s a Samsung smart fridge that an Instagram personality used to play Doom Eternal through Xbox Game Pass Cloud streaming (xCloud).
Instagram user Richard Mallard showed off the beautiful and meme-worthy streaming of Doom Eternal. There’s quite a bit of letterboxing because the screen of the smart fridge is in portrait mode and the game appears in landscape mode, but it does appear to work well. To get xCloud running, Mallard sideloaded the Android version of the service onto the fridge.
