I don’t personal an Xbox Series X/S but. I’ve been tempted, however my PS5 has held me over sufficient to not really feel any urgency to go inexperienced. However, that modified a bit this week after Microsoft revealed two wonderful new colours for the Xbox Series X/S controller.

Revealed at the moment on Microsoft’s website is a brand new hue known as Deep Pink, an exquisite shade of sizzling pink. The design is reasonably tame in comparison with a few of Xbox’s different releases; the controller has a pink coating with matching analog sticks and heart buttons. The again is white whereas the triggers, D-pad, and ABXY buttons are black with pink font. I want Microsoft had gone with a full white-on-pink theme, however the controller nonetheless appears to be like nice.

Unfortunately, the Deep Pink Xbox controller prices $65, a bit greater than the opposite $60 single-color controllers, just like the White, Black, Red, Blue, and Volt (suppose Gatorade lime) variations.

This new coloration arrives just a few days after Microsoft launched a particular version Xbox controller to have a good time the twentieth anniversary of its console’s launch in Scottland. The design, created in collaboration with a kiltmaking firm, is lacking solely a bagpipe. It contains Xbox’s archetypal colours of “RV Green”, “Viv Green”, and “Apple 13” (inexperienced, inexperienced, and greener) in a standard tartan sample (crisscrossed, horizontal, and vertical multi-colored stripes).

To be clear, the controller is roofed in a cloth floor, and never simply any material —however tartan woven by Lochcarron, the oldest weaving mill in Scotland. It has additionally apparently been entered into the Scottish Register of tartans.

The ensuing controller appears to be like like one thing Sackboy (sorry, once more, I personal a PlayStation) would use. I really don’t thoughts it. The symmetry is sweet, and whereas I’ll at all times be enthusiastic about whether or not I wiped all of the pizza grease off my fingers earlier than touching it, I don’t thoughts the fabric.

This is clearly not for everybody. In reality, it’s technically just for just a few folks, for the reason that customized controller is extraordinarily restricted and is being given away in a social media marketing campaign within the UK. We simply had to share it with our readers.

If you aren’t feeling both of those colours, the Xbox Design Lab enables you to design your personal controller with virtually limitless customization choices (Deep Pink, by the best way, is a typical coloration choice). Opting for a number of the fancier choices, like metallic colours or a customized engraving, raises the worth, however having a unique controller is perhaps price it.
