Xbox announced a large update for its Xbox Design Lab service. The Xbox Design Lab is an online portal that allows customers to personalize each aspect of an Xbox controller on a digital tool. Once the user is done customizing the controller, they can order it online and ship it to their house.
The new styles include pink, orange, green, and purple pastel colors. On top of this, there are new patterns such as 'Arctic Camo,' 'Forest Camo,' 'Blaze Camo,' 'Mineral Camo,' and 'Sandglow Camo.' These colors and patterns are applicable to any part of the controller, including the front plate, back plate, shoulder buttons, and joysticks.
In addition to choosing the color of the controller, customers are also able to customize materials, such as metallic finishes or rubber joysticks.
