Microsoft has quietly released a new colorway for the Xbox Series X controller, and it’s bringing a cool and frosty vibe to the gaming experience.
The Arctic Camo Special Edition controller for Xbox Series X has made its appearance on the official Microsoft store, retailing for $69.99 in the US. While there hasn’t been an official pricing or reveal for the UK or Australia, it is likely to happen in the near future.
This new design is a reimagination of the Xbox One Arctic Camo controller that was launched in 2020, just ahead of the release of the Xbox Series X. The updated version features a black, grey, and white color scheme, with dark grey sticks, menu, share, and options buttons. One standout feature is the dark grey A, X, B, and Y symbols on translucent buttons, giving it a cool glacier-like feel.
Whether you’re playing on the current or previous generation of Microsoft’s console hardware or on PC, this new Arctic Camo Special Edition controller offers a fresh and appealing look for one of the best Xbox controllers available. Microsoft has been consistently delivering excellent revisions of the Xbox Wireless Controller, and it’s refreshing to see a variety of colors and styles being introduced, setting the competition apart.
Recently, Microsoft released the Xbox Earth Day controller, which was partially made from recycled CDs and headlights and was bundled with the play-and-charge kit. Additionally, the Limited Edition Redfall controllers via the Xbox Design Lab, inspired by the playable characters and vampiric enemies in the game Redfall, garnered excitement among gamers.
With the continuous support for new and exciting Xbox controllers, each setup can have a unique and personalized feel, going beyond the standard black model of the Xbox Series X and white of the Xbox Series S. Gamers can look forward to more innovative and stylish designs in the future, enhancing their gaming experience.
