Xbox has improved the attachment design so the toppers better endure higher force use and stay securely in place during gameplay. The company is also expanding the lineup with a new, highly requested option: the Goal Post Shape, giving players even more ways to tailor their setup. Players can access both options through Xbox Design Lab.
To explore the updated program, head to Xbox Design Lab, choose the controller you’d like to design a topper for, and select from 7 available shapes, including the new Goal Post Shape. From there, you can customise the width and height that work best for you and download a 3D-printable file at no charge to print the topper for your compatible controllers.
The players do not need to buy a controller to download the file; they just need access to a 3D printer or printing service.
Apart from this, the company has also launched a refresh of the Accessible Gaming page on XBOX.com to make it easier for players to learn about the accessibility features and tools available across XBOX. The updated page is said to introduce clearer content, improved navigation, and a more approachable layout, helping players more quickly find what they need and understand how XBOX supports different ways to play.
Accessibility tags, such as the Accessible Games Initiative tags, are available now within XBOX storefronts and can help players filter and find experiences that match their preferences.
