Microsoft Reveals Xbox Series X Console Wraps, Starting With Special Starfield Edition

Microsoft announced new Xbox Series X console wrappings. 

These wraps work similarly to Sony’s PlayStation 5 console covers, allowing players to change the console’s cosmetic look without buying an entirely new one. Instead of sliding covers off like with the PS5, Xbox’s solution is to wrap the cosmetic change around the console, hence the name. The company has revealed three wraps to kick off the product, including a special edition Starfield wrap. 

“The Starfield-inspired console wrap reimagines your console as an on-board avionics module, powering you through your adventures,” an Xbox blog post reads. “Key internal console components are highlighted through outlined access panel and game-inspired graphics. Technical callouts detail actual console functionality, with an in-game twist.”

Xbox says this wrap has a “soft, smooth white high-tech feel” with painted-on tactice graphics. On the inside of the wrap, you’ll find a fabric that “has a soft precision sheen, with a silicone gravity wave print for cling and stability.” The Starfield wrap launches in the U.S., Canada, and Europe on October 18. The wrap will be $49.99. 

If the Starfield wrap isn’t your style, Microsoft also announced two more warps: Arctic Camo and Mineral Camo. Microsoft has announced two more warps: Arctic Camo and Mineral Camo. Both are white with a mix of greys, including dark and lighter shades, for a neutral arctic appearance. Inside, there is a similar soft fabric to the Starfield Wrap. The wraps are set to launch on the 10th of November in North America and Canada, but in Europe only Mineral Camo. The cost will be $44.99 per wrap. 

It’s clear from the name and videos Microsoft released that the wrap envelops the console, but it’s somewhat unclear exactly how. The wrap appears to be able to adhere around the console without screws or any kind of adhesive product.
