Microsoft Reveals Return For Xbox Design Lab For The Latest Xbox Controller

In the last handful of days, Microsoft continues to churn out new announcements to better establish its presents for the Xbox Series X|S. Already, Microsoft further reaffirmed that the Xbox Series X mini fridge is the new reality we live in. With a new trailer paving a late 2021 release for this holiday, the footage presents smallest yet ‘most powerful’ appliance in the video game market.

Additionally, Microsoft left a very large impression with the recent breakout of Halo Infinite content in the last few days as well. During the Sunday Xbox-Bethesda E3 Showcase, 343 Industries featured the first glimpse of multiplayer footage for the newest installment in the series. In a following deep-dive video, the developer also grasped on the new battle pass system for the post-launch plans for the game as well.

During the scheduled ‘Xbox Games Showcase: Extended’ held on Thursday, Microsoft announced that the Xbox Design Lab is making a comeback for the newest controller on the market. You can watch the reveal trailer in the video below:

“Our new Xbox Wireless Controllers are now available in Xbox Design Lab. Players will receive all the benefits that come with the newest generation of Xbox Wireless Controllers, including improved ergonomics for a wider range of hand sizes, better cross-device connectivity, easier sharing, and reduced latency,” James Hunter, Xbox Senior Director of Strategy & Business explains.

“Players can choose from 18 different available colors for most controller parts and we are introducing new colors like Shock Blue, Pulse Red, and Electric Volt. Most of our color options are made with plastics containing 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials by weight.* These color options will reduce the amount of waste plastic that ends up in landfills and ensure we are all doing our part to take care of the planet.

“We believe this work is critical and will continue to increase the amount of PCR that we use in our products.  We are also adding a new black-on-color ABXY button option, as well as a new black-on-white color option for the View, Menu and Share buttons. We have a bold vision for customization through Xbox Design Lab, and this update is just the beginning. Our team is hard at work developing new processes, testing new materials, and innovating so that we can continue to evolve the Xbox Design Lab experience.”

This week, Microsoft also told that Xbox One is still a priority for its future plans alongside this program from the respected era. In that, a separate Xbox Wire blog post disclosed the company to target cloud streaming for the last-generation system for players to experience titles like Redfall & Starfield that are unique to Xbox Series X|S.
