It looks like Xbox Series X is getting an officially licensed media remote at launch.
A listing on Amazon UK (as spotted by Gfinity Deals) points to a PDP Media Remote for Xbox One & Series X. The listing doesn't have an image attached, but it does have a release date of November 15 and a standard set of features, which includes a "traditional TV remote design" and "motion activated backlit buttons".
Even if you can't get a dedicated remote control at launch, the new Xbox app, which is available in beta now on Android, also works as a remote control. It replicates the function of the D-pad and buttons, so you could theoretically try to play a game on it, but you'd probably be better off sticking to Netflix.
Other new accessories coming for Xbox Series X include a redesigned controller, which will be available in three colors at launch, and an upgraded rechargeable battery. Xbox One has had some extremely good looking controllers this generation, so I'm eager to see what new looks Microsoft cooks up in the next one.
