Okay, so, there's lots going on at Gamescom this week, but some of those in attendance have their priorities well and truly sorted out here. Those priorities are to do with locking eyes on the new Xbox Series X console wraps - specifically the gorgeous Starfield edition which we're very keen to see in person.
While we haven't managed to get our hands on one of these just yet, they're on display at the Gamescom 2023 Xbox booth, and boy do they look pretty. Here's the Constellation-themed console wrap in all its glory:
We're loving all of the little details on this — like the wrap itself pointing out various Series X components — and it looks like it'll match the existing Starfield headset & controller options nicely. The rear of the wrap looks super cool too, especially with the big logo on there!
If this is the first time you're seeing this, Microsoft announced a set of Xbox Series X 'Console Wraps' earlier this week as a way for fans to kit out their consoles with different designs. Three themes have been revealed so far - all of the designs and pre-order details are available down below.
Will you be getting one of these when they launch? Let us know if you think this looks even better IRL!

I know for a fact I'll somehow mess up in applying the wrap and make the xbox look infinitely worse lol
@Cherip-the-Ripper it's not a sticker but more like a cover
What sucks is it wasn't only available worldwide
Nope. You can see this "wrap" has feet on the bottom of it so it doesn't slide down
I have both of my Series Xs mounted and hanging up so this would fall right off.
Better off getting a vinyl wrap. I'd argue they're probably more resilient than this cloth one too since vinyl stands up to being on car and motorcycle exteriors.
@InterceptorAlpha it's not made of cloth. 😂
@LoquaciousB What is it made of then? I'm seeing it described as fabric in sites and you can even see how it puffs up from around the edges. If it isn't fabric then it is similar to the cover of a binder. Again, not very resilient. And still requires feet to not fall off.
@InterceptorAlpha It's clearly some kind of synthetic polymer but it's certainly not cloth. The feet are there as a safeguard just to prevent it slipping down and cutting off the air intake but the inside of the wrap is a textured silicone from what I saw and it should therefore cling on fairly well if it's fastened correctly and snugly. Time will tell though.
It doesn't look good with the top exposed. That's why there are few pictures showing it.
I understand that it needs to be open on the top for the vents, but it simply doesn't look good, it looks like a cardboard toy castle.
I already preordered. Prettiest design I've ever seen. Glad they took this approach instead of a whole custom console.
It's not a bad design, but not for me. My XSX is in vertical position, and the top (which is black and green inside) is exposed. This would look bad. Maybe once they make some green-ish Halo/sci-fi design I will consider.
@Fishticon lol that’s a good way of describing it
Does it come with a fajita wrap?
@InterceptorAlpha
It has a felt outside. It's cardboard or plastic or both inside.
@Fanat1c Hmm, I hadn't considered the green popping through from the black top, but I'm still looking forward to putting this on my Xbox. I do feel for those who have their XSX horizontal and also the XSS owners. They couldn't come up with one for that system? Odd.
I have a HIDEit mount and my xbox is mounted my wall. Will the console wrap work on that?
