Xbox Canada unveiled the Roy Woods capsule collection in collaboration with the Canadian-born rapper and musical artist. The collection includes a Roy Woods-themed 'Xbox Series S,' 'Xbox Wireless Controller,' and a range of apparel. The Xbox console and controller both feature a black base with splashes of colors, words, and symbols, each of which are inspired by Woods' upcoming album 'Mixed Emotions.'
In addition to this, the rapper is releasing a collection of apparel that shares similar designs as the customized Xbox console. Woods stated that he has an established love for Xbox as a brand because, not only was it his first console, but also that he still enjoys the Xbox ecosystem to this day.
