Microsoft is giving Xbox gamers a new way to customize their Xbox Series X consoles later this year with the upcoming release of console wraps. Xbox fans have been clamoring for ways to customize their consoles since Xbox Design Lab already offers several personalization options for Xbox Series X|S controllers, and Microsoft's answer to these demands includes a new product.
Microsoft's Xbox Design Lab lets fans design and purchase their own personalized Xbox controllers. Xbox fans are unable to customize their console to such an extent, but Microsoft often gives away special edition Xbox Series X|S consoles based on new films and games. This fall, Microsoft will launch a new method of customization for fans who have been wanting to customize their Xbox Series X console for the past three years.
In a new Xbox Wire post, Microsoft announced that Xbox Series X console wraps will be launching this year. Each console wrap is precisely designed for Xbox Series X while ensuring cooling performance is unaffected. For example, Microsoft added small feet to the bottom of the wraps in order to allow air to freely flow through the console's vents. The wrap consists of solid core panels with high-tech fabric finishes, and a hook and loop enclosure secures the wrap onto the console. Pre-orders are available now in the Microsoft Store, and the very first console wrap is themed after Bethesda's highly anticipated Starfield game.
The white Starfield edition Xbox Series X console wrap will be sold first on October 18 for $49.99 in the US, Canada, and Europe. This particular Xbox console wrap is themed after a Starfield on-board avionics module, and the console's components, including the cooling fan and USB ports, are labeled across the wrap in their corresponding locations. Arctic Camo and Mineral Camo Xbox Series X console wraps are also available to pre-order now for $44.99 in the Microsoft Store. These new wraps will release on November 10, roughly four weeks after the release of the Starfield console wrap.
Fortunately, Microsoft's new Xbox Series X console wraps avoid the problems involved with residue left behind from stickers and other sorts of wraps. The high-quality fabric and design add a premium and stylish finish to Xbox Series X consoles while remaining competitive with pricing for Sony's PlayStation 5 console covers.
Microsoft could reveal more new console wraps themed after Xbox's biggest upcoming games, so fans may want to be on the lookout for announcements after the wraps launch this October and November. Console wraps have the potential to become one of Microsoft's most successful Xbox accessories, so the company could reveal more console wraps leading into the holiday season.
