Over 6 million user-created maps are coming to ‘Halo: MCC’

The story behind every Xbox One controller ever made

[ad_1] The clip walks through ‘common’ controllers based on themes, whether it’s colors, laser-etched patterns or the many game-themed models (did you know the Sea of Thieves pad was inspired by a gem in a shop?).
