Xbox Console Wraps: Starfield, designs, price and where to buy
There's a new way to customize your Xbox Series X console
Xbox Console Wraps are a new way to customize your Xbox Series X without shelling out for a limited edition console – much like Sony’s PS5 console covers.
The Xbox Console Wraps aren’t just a sticker you carefully have to apply, however. They’re a fabric wrap that envelope your Xbox Series X console to make it look like a custom design.
All the vents of the Xbox Series X remain clear, and small feet have been added to the bottom of the wraps so that air can flow freely through the console. The panels include a high-tech fabric finish and are secured with a hook and loop enclosure at the back of the console. The inside of the wrap includes a silicone design to prevent it from slipping off the console.

Xbox Console Wraps: designs
Microsoft has revealed four Xbox Console Wraps designs so far, but expect more to come in the future. The most popular Xbox Console Wrap is likely to be the Starfield design, which became one of the best Xbox games when it released on September 6, 2023.
Starfield Xbox Console Wrap
If you’ve picked up the Starfield Xbox controller or even splashed the cash on the Starfield Constellation Edition, you can make your Xbox Series X look the part too. A Starfield-inspired console wrap launched on October 18 and costs $49.99.
Mineral Camo Xbox Console Wrap
Microsoft also released a Mineral Camo Xbox Console Wrap that matches the Xbox Wireless Controller that was released in October 2022. It became available on November 10 for $44.99.
Artic Camo Gray Xbox Console Wrap
Like the Mineral Camo Xbox Console Wrap, you can pick up an Artic Camo Gray Xbox Console Wrap. Microsoft released an Xbox One Artic Camo Gray controller, which was released in May 2020. The Artic Gray Xbox Console Wrap costs $44.99 and was released on November 10.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Xbox Console Wrap
To celebrate the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Microsoft revealed a new Xbox Console Wrap. It costs $54.99 and comes with a one-hour 2XP token for use online. The game’s 90s spy thriller theme inspired the design.
Xbox Console Wraps: price
The price of Xbox Console Wraps ranges from $44.99 to $54.99 and they’re available in the US, Canada and Europe. Microsoft charges $44.99 for more standard designs that match existing Xbox Series X controller colors, while special, game-focused designs like the Starfield Xbox Console Wrap will cost slightly more at $49.99.
Xbox Console Wraps: where to buy
For now, the Xbox Console Wraps can only be bought directly from the Microsoft Store. It’s unclear whether other retailers will sell Xbox Console Wraps in the future or if they will continue to be exclusive to the Microsoft Store.
The Microsoft Store offers free shipping and hassle-free returns, which at least makes it slightly easier to stomach.
Are there Xbox Console Wraps for Xbox Series S?
Unfortunately, the Xbox Console Wraps only work on Xbox Series X and it doesn’t appear that Microsoft is making any Xbox Console Wraps for Xbox Series S. That’s a shame considering how popular Microsoft’s more affordable and smaller console is, as no doubt people would have leaped at the chance to customize their consoles.
