The launch of the Xbox Series S/X is in full swing. While there’s a substantial amount of fake malfunctioning Xbox Series X videos flooding the web, there’s some interesting mods flying under the radar.

The possibilities are endless and it will be interesting to see how this evolves over time. In the meantime, check out the video posted earlier:
