At the turn of the new decade, the 2020s was to bring new heights to the world leaving 2010 behind. Additionally, avid video game players certainly knew what awaited with the Xbox Series X|S on the horizon for that coming November. With that, Microsoft pushed a new initiative with the ‘Designed for Xbox’ project allowing users to transition to the new consoles without the unnecessary need to buy all new accessories.
With that came a new arrangement with dozens of brands to liven the platform as your current controllers and headsets will also be compatible with the new machines. This brought several new devices including even OtterBox tapping into the gaming market at the time. The initiative also branched out to xCloud accessories as well with the service opening to more consumers as well.
