Summary
Microsoft has revealed a brand-newXboxcontroller that will be released on Tuesday, February 4. Microsoft releases newXboxcontrollers on a regular basis, giving fans of the console all kinds of options when it comes to colors, designs, and functionality. There are multiple variations of the Xbox Elite Series controllers, but there are even more options to choose from when it comes to standard Xbox controllers.
For years now, Microsoft has regularly released new Xbox controllers, ensuring that fans always have something new to add to their collection or a fresh option to choose from. Lately, Xbox’s new controllers have been focused on transparent tech, like the blue Sky Cipher andgray Ghost Ciphercontrollers. Now Microsoft has revealed the next in its line of transparent Xbox controllers, with this one sporting a striking red look.
The Xbox Wireless Controller Special Edition - Pulse Cipher follows in the footsteps of the Sky Cipher and Ghost Cipher controllers. It once again goes with a transparent design reminiscent of the technology craze from decades ago, but with a bright red shell. The buttons, d-pad, triggers, and grips are all red as well, with the back of the controller going with more of a maroon shade. The controller looks rather impressive, though it is functionally identical to other standard Xbox controllers currently on the market, so those that don’t actually need a new one should keep that in mind. Those interested in the new Xbox controller should note that it retails for $74.99.Pre-orders are open now, and the controller will be available on Tuesday, February 4.
Xbox Series X Pulse Cipher Controller Release Date and Price
The latestsee-through Xbox controlleris one of its best-looking yet, but there will likely be more on the way. After all, there are still a handful of primary color options Xbox has yet to use with the Cipher line, and one has to imagine it will go through all of them by the time it’s all said and done. Considering this, those interested in the transparent Xbox controllers but haven’t had their favorite color represented yet may want to wait and see before committing to one of the existing ones.
Of course, gamers that don’t want to wait for official Xbox controller releases from Microsoft also have the choice to use the Xbox Design Lab to make their own controllers. However, the transparent options are only available for theXbox Elite Series controllersthrough the Design Lab at the time of this writing.
