It’s getting close to the holiday season soon, and there is no better time than to start looking at things to get the Xbox Gamer in your life. For transparency’s sake, I’m an Xbox Ambassador. But I’m not affiliated with any of the products below. These are simply just some of the best gifts you can give, that will definitely delight.
From handy tech to luxury picks, I’ve collected a series of gifts that will fit everyone at every budget.
Typing in game is always a chore. But it doesn't have to be! Say goodbye to awkward fiddling around in mini menus and say hello to a dedicated keyboard that attaches to the bottom of your controller.
Sometimes, it's not all about the grind. Sometimes you just wanna kick back and watch some YouTube. But using your controller make that a pain. With the PDP Media remote that can be a thing of the past, as this allows you to navigate to your favourite streaming services with ease.
It wouldn't be a full gift guide if I didn't highlight some accessibility gifts too. These Precision Rings by KontrolFreak offer a little more resistance to your thumb sticks. So if you stuffer from jittery hands, this can help your shots to become more consistent and accurate.
Digital downloads for games are huge. Some of the bigger titles like ARK and Call of Duty have file sizes of 150GB. Having a fast, and large hard drive so you're not constantly installing and uninstalling is an essential investment for any Xbox Gamer.
If you're looking for a gift that is a little extra, and for someone who travels a lot have a look at this portable gaming monitor from DEPGI. This nifty screen allows the gamer in your life to remain gaming even on the go.
When you're in a small flat or room, you know just how much every square inch matters. Consoles like the Series S, while kind of small, can take up more room than you like on your coffee table or TV console. With this handy mount, you can mount your Xbox to your wall, freeing up a lot of room in the process.
If you have an Xbox Series X you know just how chunky of a console it is. Using this multifunctional wall mount, you'll be able to not only mount your Xbox but also have holders to show off two Xbox controllers as well as your headset.
The Xbox Series S only has one USB port on the front. This means that you often have to go back and forth if you need to plug in a wired controller and then have to swap it out for something else. These hassles are a thing of the past with this handy splitter that attaches right to your Xbox giving you 3 additional USB slots for all of your accessory needs.
It can't truly be a gift guide without recommending Xbox's premium Elite controller. It comes customisable so you choose what fits best for you. It is one of the best controllers that you can get on the market. Not just for its build quality and customisation but for its sheer versatility.
Not everyone has $100 to drop on a controller for the holidays. So if you're curious about paddle controls or just looking to get that Elite experience without the cost, Collective Minds has you covered. With their strike pack that attaches directly to the Standard Xbox controller you can get a feel for what strike pads add to your gameplay.
With any console, overheating is always a concern. Having burned through many a PS4 when they came out I would know. Thankfully, I've never had an issue with my Xbox. Getting a cooling fan that automatically detects when the console will get too hot would be a lifesaver, especially in warmer seasons.
The audio aficionado in your life will love this Adapter by LEVELHIKE will allow you to have more finite control of your audio balance through your headphones.
For those who are looking for a bit more customisation for their joy sticks, they should look at these FPS sticks from KontrolFreek. These are detachable adjusters for your joy sticks allowing them to have two height sizes. This can improve not only your precision in the game but also gives your controller a better feel in the hand.
It doesn't matter if the gamer in your life has sweaty hands or simply slippy fingers from snacking - these silicon grips come in 19 different colours and are bound to make your gaming experience more comfortable.
This is my bonus pick for this guide just because these chunky cats are just so cute! At $9 at the time of writing, this is a no-brainer of a gift for the gamer in your life. If cute cats aren't your thing, don't worry! They have 24 other
