Microsoft has made a long-awaited announcement regarding a new Xbox Series X wrap, themed around Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Following a significant gap without new releases, the company has now unveiled a full accessory collection that boasts not only a fresh wrap but also two distinct controllers.
This latest wrap is inspired by the intrigue of espionage that defines the upcoming installment in the Call of Duty franchise. Dubbed the Xbox Series X Wrap - Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, it features a bold design characterized by a primary black and white palette, punctuated with subtle orange accents and a visually appealing pattern reminiscent of layers often found in classified documents.
With plenty of intricate details, this wrap promises to be a delight for dedicated fans of the series. It is currently available for preliminary order at a price of $54.99 / £49.99 through the Microsoft Store, with an official release date set for October 23. Additionally, those who pre-order will receive a complimentary one-hour 2XP token usable in Black Ops 6, which may not be the most exciting incentive but adds some value to the purchase.
If you haven't had the opportunity to become familiar with the idea behind Microsoft's console wraps, they are designed to be sleek fabric covers that transform your console’s appearance without extensive investment. Previous editions have included a limited-run design influenced by Starfield. While they may not offer the same appeal as a dedicated special edition console, they act as a budget-friendly alternative for individuals looking to revamp their system’s look.
The new collection also presents two unique controller designs, both of which can be customized via Xbox Design Lab. The first option is the Xbox Wireless Controller – Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, which mirrors the wrap's design with a faceplate that simulates a surface covered in confidential documents. It also features a metallic orange d-pad and triggers, adding an engaging contrast to the overall aesthetic.
For anyone desiring an upscale experience, there is a version of the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, complete with custom rubber grips that showcase an inverted design of the wrap. These gamepads support Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and PC, offering starting prices of $84.98 / £84.55 for the standard model and $164.98 / £137.98 for the Elite version. Additionally, the Xbox Design Lab allows for further customization, giving players an opportunity to personalize their controllers at an extra cost.
