McDonald’s and Xbox are launching a gaming-themed menu in the U.K. and Ireland, combining six Xbox franchises with limited-time food, drinks, and in-game rewards. The lineup covers Forza Horizon 6, World of Warcraft (WoW), Halo: Campaign Evolved, Overwatch, Candy Crush Saga, and Fallout 76.
The complete menu was presented at a London event on Aug 19, 2026, where the items were available to taste.
Each franchise is linked to a specific offering: Halo Moa McNuggets with garlic and black pepper seasoning, an Overwatch Sugared Donut, a WoW Dragonbreath Dip, a Forza Sour Cherry Fizz, a Candy Crush McFlurry, and Fallout Blamco Cheesy Bites.
McDonald’s and Xbox Promotion Stays Limited to Two Markets
The collaboration is currently available only in the U.K. and Ireland, with no U.S. expansion confirmed in the supplied information. McDonald’s chief marketing officer (CMO), Tim Kenway, stated that the campaign is focused on “bringing parts of these iconic gaming worlds to life,” allowing fans to experience elements of the franchises through food.
The promotion goes beyond themed packaging, with each game getting its own menu item. Purchases also unlock in-game rewards.
How the New Menu Performs at the Table
According to TheGamer, the tasting delivered mixed results. The garlic and black pepper McNuggets were not well received, while the sugared donut and McFlurry largely matched expectations. The Dragonbreath Dip brought noticeable heat but little additional flavor, and the Sour Cherry Fizz was similarly average.
The Cheesy Potato Bites were the standout, although they did not surpass some of McDonald’s other cheese-based options.
Alongside the food, customers taking part in the promotion will receive in-game rewards tied to the featured franchises. This gives the collaboration both a physical menu component and a gaming component.
