Over the years Xbox has been known for its unique controllers for consumers and the variety available. The Xbox Design Lab has been a great success for Microsoft allowing fans to customize a controller they’ve always wanted. Recently, Microsoft announced a very limited Pizza Scented Xbox controller that fans can only get one by winning a giveaway. That was not the first time the company did something with a controller that would blow your mind.
Let’s take a look back at some of the unique Xbox controllers of recent memory.
Earlier in the year Microsoft released the ‘Remix Special Edition‘ Xbox controller that is composed of recycled plastics. The controller was created with Earth Day in mind by aspiring to create a future of gaming in a world that we want to play in.
“Mixing post-consumer recycled resins with regrind consisting of previously molded colored parts creates custom, earth-tone colors with subtle variations, swirling, markings, and texturing – giving each Remix Special Edition controller its own look and feel.”
The Xbox Remix Special Edition Controller released on April 18, 2023 with a price of $84.99 USD, but now you can find it at $71.99 USD on the Microsoft Store.
The PUBG Greaseproof Xbox One Controller. In 2018 Microsoft came out with a Limited Edition Greaseproof controller to celebrate the release of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on Xbox. This controller was coated in a urethane material that repelled the grease.
The Greaseproof Xbox One Controller was extremely limited since 200 of them were made and they weren’t even sold. These controllers were given away from Xbox social media pages across the world where players were encouraged to share their best “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Story”.
The coating of this controller looked greasy since the engineers had to give it a super-glossy surface. You could even say it looks greasy.
With the recent Pizza Scented Xbox Controllers, Remix Xbox Controller and the PUBG Greaseproof Controller what could be next? Microsoft always seems to do what we think is the impossible for Xbox controllers.
