Xbox Reveals 3 New Controllers

by

Microsoft has introduced a fresh lineup of three special edition Xbox controllers, debuting all at once for the first time. The new “Breaker Series” showcases three bold Xbox controller designs, each with its unique appearance and style, and they will be accessible to players around the world starting next month.

Throughout the Series X/S era, Microsoft has introduced multiple unique color schemes and collaboration editions for its Xbox controller, even reactivating its Xbox Design Lab service in August following a seven-month break. As controller customization remains central to Xbox’s approach, the recently announced Breaker Series presents not just one but three distinct designs simultaneously, addressing various preferences from the start.

Xbox is Releasing Three New Controllers on September 9

As a passionate gamer, I’m thrilled about the latest additions to my Xbox controller family – the Ice Breaker, Storm Breaker, and Heart Breaker. Each one is distinctively tied together by an edgy shard-like design language that catches the eye.

The Ice Breaker stands out with its glacier-blue color scheme, boasting a frosted translucent finish, tactile grips, and blue accents adorning the buttons and thumbsticks. It’s a cool, refreshing choice for those who appreciate a touch of winter chill in their gaming setup.

On the other hand, the Storm Breaker takes a completely different approach with its sleek blend of black, white, gray, and metallic silver. It boasts an opaque shell and a metallic D-pad that gives it a distinctive camo-like appearance, making it stand out among the rest of the lineup.

Both controllers are unique additions to any gamer’s arsenal, offering not just exceptional gaming performance, but also a stylish flair that sets them apart from the crowd.

The Heart Breaker Xbox controller, with its distinctive name, boasts a vibrant pink casing adorned with shards of pink, purple, and blue, accompanied by purple thumbsticks and buttons accented in pink. Among the three, it stands out as the most colorful. In terms of functionality, the Heart Breaker Series controllers are essentially the same as Microsoft’s standard Xbox Wireless Controller. They are compatible with Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One consoles, Windows PC, Mac, Android, and iOS devices through Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth connections. Each controller also features textured grips, triggers, and a 3.5mm jack for wired headsets.

As a dedicated Xbox fan, I’m thrilled to share that you can tailor your gaming experience even more through the Xbox Accessories app. This handy tool offers features like button remapping, custom trigger settings, and vibration control adjustments. Excitingly, pre-orders for all three Breaker Series Xbox controllers are now available on the Microsoft Store for just $79.99! Mark your calendars, as they officially hit the shelves on Tuesday, September 9. And if you prefer shopping online from Amazon, they’ll be stocked there too.

The Breaker Series controllers undeniably have an appealing design, and it’s refreshing to know that Microsoft is launching them simultaneously rather than rolling them out gradually, like they did with the Cipher Series Xbox controllers last year. Beyond their vibrant and eye-catching color schemes, it will be intriguing to find out if Microsoft continues to plan for the release of the improved “Sebile” Xbox controller, which leaked a few years back, as well as the much anticipated successor to the Elite Series 2 pro controller that has been circulating in rumors.
