Microsoft joins the console customization game with Xbox Series X wraps

Microsoft

Microsoft, which has given away several custom Xbox Series S units in contests, is finally selling official wraps for the Xbox Series X. Rival Sony has been offering custom PlayStation 5 plates for quite some time now (including one that gives a Spider-Man 2 look to the console.) 

You can pre-order wraps in two camouflage colours, Arctic Camo and Mineral Camo, or a Starfield-inspired wrap. The Starfield wrap costs USD 50 and will ship in Canada, the US, and Europe on October 18. The camo wraps are USD 45 each and will ship on November 10, except for the Arctic option which is not available in Europe yet.

Bethesda is delaying two major Xbox console exclusives to next year. Starfield, the space exploration game, was initially supposed to debut on November 11, 2022, as an homage to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. But now it's getting some more time in development as the release date gets pushed back to the first half of 2023. Another title that will be delayed is the vampire co-op shooter Redfall. 

As The Verge pointed out, Bethesda might be talking about the games at its upcoming games showcase on June 12, but it wanted to set the record before that.
