Now that Christmas is just three weeks away, it’s easy to be obsessed with brainstorming gift ideas for family and friends.
Microsoft recently launched an ugly Christmas sweater that may be the perfect gift for avid gamers.
This jumper features a version of Minesweeper from Windows and a Christmas tree design.
Priced at £57.95, it’s certainly not cheap, although £75,000 ($100,000) of the proceeds will be donated to the AbleGamers charity.
Microsoft has launched an ugly Christmas sweater for gamers who are avid gamers.
On the Xbox Gear Shop, you can purchase the Microsoft Minesweeper Ugly Sweater.
The description says: “When it comes down to holiday sweater parties there is only one strategic move: the old-school Minesweeper sweatshirt.
Flash back to one the first Windows-compatible games, and you can help AbleGamers make new happy memories.
Minesweeper, a computer-based game, was first released in 1990.
You can find mines in the grid.
Clicking the squares will reveal what lies beneath.
Once all the empty squares have been uncovered, without touching a mine, you win.
On the front of the jumper is a version of Christmas Tree-shaped game set against blue backgrounds with floating snowflakes.
A score of 1990 is also displayed at the top of the jumper, which is no coincidence – 1990 is the year that Minesweeper first came out!
The back of the jumper also features the famous four-square Windows logo and a variety of snowflakes.
The jumper is priced at £57.95, with £75,000 ($100,000) of the proceeds going to AbleGamers.
Microsoft stated that AbleGamers will be supported this year in their efforts to foster inclusion communities and combat social isolation.

Microsoft’s ugly Christmas jumpers are not new. In fact, they released three versions last year. One of them was based upon Microsoft Paint.
Microsoft appears to have sold out this year’s Minesweeper-themed jumper at the time we are writing.
You can still sign up for the wish list to receive notifications when the jumper is back in stock.
