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. According to Woods, the eccentric canvas design choice was made in order to tell an expressive story to a wide array of fans.
Xbox fans and Roy Woods fans can enter a giveaway to receive the exclusive console online at Xbox Canada's Twitter channel.
