Microsoft has just taken the wraps off its new Minesweeper-inspired Ugly Sweater, which will help you stay warm this holiday season with a cool sweater paying homage to a cult-classic Windows game. The Microsoft Minesweeper Ugly Sweater is now available for $74.99 on the US Xbox Gear Shop, and international shipping is available.
Just like last year, those of you who purchase this old-school Minesweeper sweater will be supporting a good cause, with Microsoft being committed to contributing $100,000 to AbleGamers on their quest to combat social isolation through play. You can learn more about what the AbleGamers charity does on this page.
