If you’re one of the lucky few to snag an Xbox Series X preorder today, or even if you’re waiting on stock that might not appear until next year, you’re going to need more than just the console to play on. Here’s all the available accessories for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
Strictly speaking, you don’t have to rush out and buy a whole host of gear for the new Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S if you’re an existing Xbox One owner, because your existing controllers, wheels, headsets and even that amazing Xbox adaptive controller should work just fine from day one.
At the same time, it’s nice to gear up with all-new peripherals if your existing stock of controllers is showing more than a few signs of wear, tear or abuse from that time you rage quit by throwing the controller out the window on the 22nd floor. Or maybe you’re coming afresh to the world of Xbox, at which point you will need a few new bits and bobs.
Of course, that compatibility story also means that there’s a wealth of Xbox One accessories that you could buy for the Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S. It doesn’t take too much crystal ball gazing to suggest that there’s a lot of stock out there having “Xbox Series X/S compatible” stickers slapped onto it right now, if that’s not already the case.
In time, we can expect all kinds of third-party licensed controllers, headsets, stickers and just about anything that someone would pay Microsoft for the rights to throw an Xbox Series X logo onto. Right now, ahead of the official launch of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, there’s only a smattering of available peripherals options – but some of them are pretty vital to your gaming experience.
