It’s becoming more and more common for video game brands to collaborate with high-fashion brands, as video games become more and more ingrained in the DNA of pop culture. The latest team-up of this sort comes from Gucci and Xbox, who have revealed a $10,000 Xbox Series X console, as well as some other expensive designer gaming gear.
Xbox and Gucci revealed their collaboration in a new post to the latter’s website earlier today. The new collection includes a black Xbox Series X console patterned with the iconic Gucci Rhombi design laser cut into the system. There are only 100 being made, and the product number is listed on the back of the console. The Xbox Series X controller also gets a designer makeover with blue and red stripes running diagonally down its left side. The word “Gucci” is printed along the bottom of the controller.
Of course, you’ll need somewhere to safely store and transport your designer Xbox Series X and its equally designer controllers. This is where the new Xbox Gucci luggage comes into play. “The design defines a hard carry case with blue and red stripes—recalling vintage luggage in a subtle reference to the House’s origins.” The luggage can securely fit an Xbox Series X console and two controllers.
The Xbox x Gucci collab will be available on November 17 for $10,000 USD and includes the console, two controllers, and luggage. It’s just the latest instance of the gaming and high-fashion worlds colliding. Back in September, Epic Games partnered with Balenciaga for both real-world and in-game designer wear inspired by Fortnite.
