An Apex Legends fan has come up with a creative theme for Microsoft’s Xbox Series S console. The events of this week have steered the gaming community towards the next era in gaming. Xbox loyalists were absolutely ecstatic after Microsoft announced the price and launch date for Xbox Series X and Series S.

Xbox headman, Phil Spencer said that the announcements were originally scheduled for next week. However, the accuracy of the leaks plunged Microsoft into making unscripted announcements. Xbox has set sail for the next generation of gaming, and this time the gamer is at the epicenter of everything.

Apex Legends fan has an idea for Xbox Series S

Reddit has always served as a medium for the community to put forth its suggestions. Recently, u/Ur13L343 shared a glimpse of their creativity on the Apex Legends subreddit. The user showcased an artistic design for Xbox Series S, sporting a unique Apex Legends theme.

Pathfinder was chosen as the poster boy for the console and the controller. Evidently, the blueish-gray color combination for the console draws its inspiration from the original Pathfinder skin. It also has Pathfinder’s trademark smiley face and the voice line of “Hi Friend!” etched on the surface.

The design is undoubtedly impressive, and the community has appreciated the inventive approach. Another user commented, “You can only go wireless every 35 seconds.” The phrase is a funny reference to the infamous Pathfinder nerf, which increased his tactical grapple cooldown to 35 seconds.

There is already a Pathfinder Edition of Apex Legends, and it would definitely be refreshing to own a Pathfinder-themed Xbox console. However, for that to happen, Respawn would have to collaborate with Microsoft.

Back in June, Respawn made big announcements for the future of Apex Legends. They confirmed their plans to release the battle royale for Nintendo Switch and Steam, with cross-play becoming a salient feature. But there is no official word on when (or if at all) Apex Legends is coming to the next-gen consoles.

Recent social media rumblings suggested September 15 as the probable date for cross-play to hit the Apex servers with a new collection event. However, things seem to have cooled down since then as Respawn recently announced the initiation of September Soiree.
