Microsoft has launched a program that lets buyers design their Xbox One controller. They will be able to choose from 8 million different combinations.
The console company has launched this program for those Xbox One owners who want to have diversity in their console accessories, without letting them choose premade ones. Console making companies usually only release controllers with pre-determined designs made by them and sometimes other companies sponsoring it. This new program was announced at the company's E3 2016 conference as one of the big reveals from them.
This new program will let buyers get creative with the designs of their own controllers and be satisfied with it at the same time. Those who are interested to make their own designs can go to the Xbox Design Lab website, which allows console owners and interested buyers to customize a controller, according to Gamespot. They can choose different colors for the front and back panels, D-pad, shoulder triggers and the buttons with no limitation of how they will arrange it, and they can also put some text on the front or their names.
The controllers that will be used for customizations will be the same updated ones that come with the new Xbox One S, which is smaller in size. Customized controller owners will be able to enjoy the new controllers included features, which are the Bluetooth for better range and lets them use it wirelessly with a Windows PC, and the better textured back panel that gives players a better grip to it.
Interested buyers can already head to the website to customize their own controllers, but the Xbox Design Lab will not be able to ship them until September, according to The Verge. Each customized controller will cost $79.99, and if they want to put an engraving on it, they will have to pay an extra $9.99 for it. They can preorder the customized controllers starting today.
In other news, the new Xbox One S has been revealed recently during the console company's E3 2016 conference. The new version of the recent video game console will have a smaller size and will have the color white. It will be 40 percent smaller than the original version.
