Xbox launches camping gear collection

It’s summer and it’s a particularly hot one. During the most sweltering of days, it’s well-advised to stay out of the sun and play your favorite video games from the safety of your windowless basement.

But sometimes it’s good to get out and touch grass every now and then. To that end, I know what you’re thinking, “If only I had a snazzy bright-green Xbox-themed baseball cap to wear outside so I could feel comfortable getting out into the great outdoors.” Well you’re in luck, because Xbox released a line of camping gear so us gamers can feel comfortable doing all that outdoors stuff.

Many of the items are in the Xbox classic colour scheme, which is black and bright. There’s a slouchy lawn chair for sale for $74.99, a hammock that costs $59.99, and a smattering of sports apparel like baseball caps and T-shirts. The line has some more techwear-looking pieces, including a “utility vest” available for $39.99. The bandana is my favorite. This line of products is now available for purchase. You can see all of the items on the Xbox Gear Shop site.

It’s a really thoughtful gesture from Xbox, given how many times people have replied to my own posts telling me to go touch grass. You too, and I can now do this!
