It may be December, but many people feel that the latest announcement from Pizza Hut is a late (or early) April Fool’s joke.

Fast food and video games are two industries that seem destined to collaborate. When you’re in the middle of a LAN party or a solo session, there’s often little time to prepare a meal.

A LAN party is defined as “a local area network where players gather in the same physical location and connect their gaming computers or consoles to play LAN-compatible games together. They meet and engage with each other through their gaming avatars in the game being played.”

Whether you’re an avid gamer or someone who just likes to kick back after work with a game of FIFA, this new device could be just what you need.

Pizza Hut has introduced an innovative design for pizza lovers and gamers alike – the PIZZAWRMR. This device is compatible with a PS5 and creatively combines fast food and gaming.

The Pizza Hut PIZZAWRMR is a 3D-printed box featuring the iconic food brand’s logo, designed to sit on top of your PS5.

The idea is simple: it keeps your food warm using the heat generated by the gaming console.

While this may sound like a prank, it’s very much a real product! However, you can’t buy one directly from Pizza Hut; you’ll have to 3D print the design yourself.

Pizza Hut has opted not to sell the design or actual prints of the device. The upside is that you can always create your own, but unfortunately, not everyone has access to a 3D printer.

If you’re lucky enough to have a 3D printer and want to try making one, you’ll need a 3D printer bed that is 15 x 15 inches (38.1 x 38.1 cm) to accommodate all the components needed to print the PIZZAWRMR.

Once completed, the PIZZAWRMR should sit neatly on top of your PS5. Just remember, though: the console must be lying down, not standing upright.

It is recommended that you put a tray inside the box to catch any grease or crumbs, keeping your console clean.

Pizza Hut claims the box is perfectly sized for slices of their medium pizzas, but you can certainly try fitting any pizza slice you want in there.
