Xbox Series S | X Wireless Controller Review
Alongside the launch of the new Xbox Series X and S consoles this past week, Microsoft also released an updated controller. While the new pad doesn’t have the touch-based bells and whistles of Sony’s DualSense controller, it’s still enough of an upgrade to feel like a truly new device.
In a refreshing change from the planned obsolescence norm of the video game industry, Xbox One accessories are inter-compatible with the new Xbox Series consoles. Thanks to this decision, this new controller will also work with the older Xbox One consoles. That’s awesome, and it means that if you’re planning to hold on to your current console for a little bit longer, you can still upgrade to the new controller right now.
The Xbox Wireless Controller, as it’s still called in this new iteration, retails for $59.99 (official site here), and it’s currently available in black, white, and blue. The older models are slowly being phased out in favor of this one, so I’d imagine we’ll see more colors as time goes on, and that this model will also be available through the Xbox Design Lab very soon.
