An Xbox Series S Bundle is where you should start for your graduate if they're in need of a new gaming system, but if they're already playing Gotham Nights and Coral Island on their Xbox like every high schooler is every day, level up their controller game with this awesome Dream Vapor special edition or give him the gift of a fully customizable wireless controller from the Xbox Design Lab.
