Microsoft is launching a range of official consoles wraps for Xbox Series X - including a design inspired by Bethesda's upcoming space RPG and sandwich-collecting sim Starfield - that'll go on sale across Europe, Canada, and the US starting in October.

The new wraps consist of solid core panels layered with a fabric finish that fold around the Series X, providing a customisation option Microsoft describes as "more affordable and more sustainable than purchasing a special edition or limited edition console".

Wraps are secured in place using a combination of Velcro-style fastening and silicon printing on panel interiors, and Microsoft says the design - which incorporates small "feet" at the bottom of each wrap - ensures vents are kept clear and that air can flow freely through the console.

Initially, three wrap designs will be available; two are fairly unremarkable camouflage-style offerings - a white and grey option called Artic Camo, plus a blue and purple version known as Mineral Camo - but the third is a slick Starfield variant, featuring white panelling and grey detailing intended to complement the official Starfield controller and headset.

And here it is, all laid out.

Of the three designs, Microsoft is launching the Starfield wrap first. It'll be available in Europe, Canda, and the US from 18th October, costing £44.99/$49.99 USD. As for the camo options, they arrive a little later on 10th November and at the slightly cheaper price of £39.99/$44.99 USD. However, while both designs will be available in Canada and the US, only the Mineral Camo will be making its way to Europe initially.
