Today, Xbox announced a series of planned improvements to its hardware and services. In addition to the improvement of cloud games and the new support platform for Xbox apps, it also announced that Xbox will expand its design Lab store to provide more customization options. This includes the new pink -- soft pink, orange, green and purple -- and the new camouflage top shell and supporting side covers -- Mineral camouflage, Arctic camouflage, forest camouflage, sand light camouflage and flame camouflage.
These colors add to a large number of personalized choices that Xbox has been steadily increasing in the design lab, including metal surfaces and rubber handles. Today, the Xbox design lab has millions of different combinations.
Yesterday, Microsoft announced that it would launch a new Xbox Design Lab in the Chinese market on September 1 this year, and it would be officially put into use on January 1 next year.
The Xbox Design Lab allows players to customize almost every part of their Xbox controller, applying specific colors and themes to individual parts. If you like, you can even add printed text to the panel controller for an additional $10. Although the design lab does not provide some customized options you can get from third-party manufacturers, each handle costs only $69.99, which is far from other customized controllers such as scuf insight, which costs $189.98. However, it is not clear whether these new options will have a higher price tag.
In addition to these new methods for making unique controllers, Xbox Design Labs will be launched in 11 new countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Norway, Slovakia and Switzerland. Taiwan will also see the arrival of design laboratories later this summer.
