In line with the recent PlayStation and Xbox console releases, Bud Light announced the 'BL6,' a playfully designed six pack that cools beers and supports video games at the same time.
Combining the functionality of a koozie, console, and projector into one device, the BL6 looks like a techy six pack that's outfitted with impressive cooling features that will keep drinks chilled for hours, and an integrated console and projector that are ready to provide portable entertainment.
The console comes with six hand-picked games that have been repurposed for the BL6 experience, which includes classics like 'Tekken 7,' 'R.B.I. Baseball 20,' 'SOULCALIBUR VI,' and 'Broforce.' Consumers can also play a selection of BL6 exclusives through the device, like 'Six Puck' and 'Flashlight Freeze Tag.'
