Father's Day is almost here for those in the U.S. and across the pond. Many lucky dads will be enjoying awesome gifts, but what if the special ones in your life love Xbox, and you don't know where to start? There's plenty to choose from in accessories and the console itself, and we've gathered our top picks, so check out this handy guide for some inspiration.
Personal touch
Using Microsoft's web-based system, you can customize the colors of an Xbox Design Lab controller and even include engraving. The controllers are compatible with Bluetooth-enabled Windows PCs and all Xbox consoles, starting at $79.99.
Charged up
Available in various colors to match the controller, Razer's stand is the perfect complement. It supports quick charging to provide a fully charged joypad in 3 hours or less, thanks to its detachable USB-C cable.
Portable Xbox
Get your dad into Game Pass with the fantastic Razer Kishi V2, one of the best mobile controllers made even better in this revision. The Android version is available now, with an iOS equivalent set for later this year, so double-check his phone model first.
Listen up
Officially licensed for Xbox, the Gen 2 MAX is just as comfortable as the regular Stealth 600 Gen 2 from Turtle Beach but prepped for over 48 hours of battery life for uninterrupted, well-deserved gaming time.
Compact console
The all-digital Series S is the ideal choice if you're looking to introduce pops to the world of Xbox or upgrade from an Xbox One. Super compact and ready for smooth gaming up to 120 FPS, it pairs perfectly with Game Pass for a massive selection of titles.
Happy Father's Day!
Everyone at Windows Central would like to wish a happy Father's Day to everyone celebrating this weekend. Xbox is more accessible than ever, with games and peripherals to suit everyone, so be sure to get some quality gaming time in with the ones you love.
