Xbox Series X owners are finally getting a chance to make their consoles look a little less fridge-y.
Microsoft announced a new trio of Series X console wraps this week, plugging them as a "more affordable and more sustainable" alternative to buying (or winning) its special-edition systems. There are two camo patterns to choose from — blue and purple Mineral Camo or gray and white Arctic Camo — as well as a Starfield-inspired design with a rainbow Constellation ribbon and a bronze Constellation insignia.
The two camo wraps retail for $44.99 and will launch on Nov. 10, while the Starfield variant is priced at $49.99 and is set for release a couple weeks earlier on Oct. 18. All three are now available for preorder exclusively through the Microsoft Store.
These new wraps aren't cheap decals or skins. They're made with smooth microfiber fabric that's secured with a Velcro enclosure. They get their cling from silicone patterned designs lining their interiors. They have gaps for the Series X's vents and come with small feet to keep airflow going, so hypothetically, they won't heat up your console too much.

"Every detail was taken into consideration to ensure your console performance is preserved," Xbox's Senior Design Director Monique Chatterjee wrote in the announcement.
Sony has been making colorful, swappable shells for the PlayStation 5 since early 2022, so it's nice to see Microsoft finally giving their players the same customization options. (And for a slightly cheaper price: The PS5 covers are $54.99 to $64.99 each.) The Starfield Xbox cover is especially great for players who missed out on the matching limited-edition controller and headset, which sold out fast earlier this summer.
