					<description><![CDATA[Xbox Design Lab started in 2016 by allowing players to customize their Xbox One controllers before taking brief hiatus last year.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Xbox is bringing back its Xbox Design Lab service, which will allow players to create and customize their own controllers, back to Xbox Series X|S. The service originally launched in 2016 and allowed players to create their own Xbox One controllers. Microsoft took the service offline in October of 2020 for &#8220;updates.&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, the updates are apparently done, and Design Lab is back today and players will now be able to create their own Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S controllers. The service offers 18 colors to choose from, including three new colors specifically added for Xbox Series X|S controllers: Shock Blue, Electric Volt, and Pulse Red.</p>
<p>Players can also customize the controller’s body, back, right and left bumpers and triggers, D-pad, thumbsticks, face buttons and the View, Menu and Share buttons. In addition, each controller can be engraved with the player&#8217;s gamertag or a custom message up to 16 characters long. Most of the colors offered are also made by using &#8220;30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials by weight,” senior director of strategy and business James Hunter said in a <a class="link-external" href="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/06/17/xbox-design-lab-is-back/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xbox Wire blog post</a>. Players can customize and order their new controllers on the <a class="link-external" href="https://xboxdesignlab.xbox.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xbox Design Lab website</a>.</p>
<p>You can watch a trailer for the service below:</p>

					<description><![CDATA[No plans for now.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Xbox-One-S.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-269255 aligncenter" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Xbox-One-S.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="349" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Xbox-One-S.jpg 620w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Xbox-One-S-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>Microsoft&#8217;s Xbox Design Lab is a pretty cool thing- basically it lets you order a custom Xbox One controller online, letting you pick a color, message, and name configuration to your liking for one out of up to 8 million possible permutations.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a neat feature, but so far it has been restricted solely to the US. Last year, Microsoft did promise that it would eventually bring it to other countries some time in 2017- but as of right now, there appear to be no plans to bring it to the UK, at least. Responding to a fan on Twitter, <a href="https://twitter.com/aarongreenberg/status/847448897010061314" target="_blank">Microsoft&#8217;s Aaron Greenberg said</a> that while the Xbox team has heard the feedback about bringing the feature to other markets, as of right now there are no plans to do so.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a bit of a shame- because this is definitely a cool idea. That said, it is also probably a very <em>niche</em> business, and maybe the logistics of doing something like this simply don&#8217;t make sense for a smaller market where Microsoft would maybe sell a few hundred (if not even fewer) of these custom controllers every month. So I can&#8217;t say I blame them for this either.</p>
