Cookie-Themed Game Skins

Microsoft Debuts Oreo-Themed Cookies for Forza, Halo, and Sea of Thieves

— January 9, 2023 — Tech
Microsoft is partnering with Oreo to create Xbox-themed Oreo cookies. With the new collaboration, the duo is launching six custom Xbox cookies. The cookies feature special codes which unlock Oreo-themed armor packs, vehicle skins, and more accessories for Halo Infinite, the battle royale game by 343 Industries. Players of Sea of Thieves will get access to a neutral-toned ship skin, while Forza Horizon 5 players will have access to a car skin that resembles a giant cookie.

One highlight of the collaboration is an Oreo-themed armor skin that transforms the Spartan into a speckled blue, white, and black fighter. Starting this month, 22 countries will be able to purchase these limited-edition cookies, but only while quantities last. The deal is only available in European markets, and the cookies will go on sale on January 16th.
