Microsoft has officially created a poster based on the Red Ring of Death as part of a promotion for the docuseries Power On: The Story of Xbox, which goes over both the good and bad periods of Xbox's history. The Red Ring of Death poster, along with various other pieces of merchandise meant to celebrate the docuseries, are now available to purchase Xbox's online merchandise store.
During the Xbox 360 era, players would often encounter a hardware issue as a result of the console overheating. The ring of green light surrounding power button would glow red and the amount of segments of the ring that turned red would dictate how bad the hardware issue was. This consistently happened to so many different users that Xbox players colloquially referred to it as the Red Ring of Death.
