Microsoft has announced that the new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core in white is now available for pre-order! We present to you the powerful and customizable controller.
Today, Microsoft announced a new Pro Controller with the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core (that’s really what it’s called!). This super sleek gamepad in white will be available on September 21, 2022, and can be pre-ordered on the Microsoft website.
Some of you may still remember the original Xbox Elite Controller from 2015. This very popular controller received a successor with the Xbox Elite 2, which came with additional features and could be even more customized to your needs.
The model announced today thus expands the Xbox Elite series.
What the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller 2 – Core can do
The new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core once again comes with the essential components and features that made its predecessor so popular:
- Sticks with adjustable tension
- a special rubber coating for extra grip
- 40 hours battery life
- a particularly robust construction
In addition, you can further customize the gamepad to your personal preferences using the Xbox Accessories app – for example, by modifying the button mapping.
Of course, the new gamepad is also usable on PC as usual, in addition to the Xbox, and comes with a one-year warranty from Microsoft.
What is the price of the new Xbox Elite Controller?
The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core is available for a price of €129.99 and is thus a solid €50 cheaper than its predecessor – the current Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 in black. Therefore, the gamepad is particularly suitable for players who want to buy an affordable yet high-quality Xbox Elite 2 controller.
The lower price is primarily explained by the fact that, in comparison to the Xbox Elite 2 Core Controller, no interchangeable components are included. You will need to buy these separately with the Complete Component Pack for just €59.99.
Included in this Complete Component Pack are:
- 1 interchangeable D-pad (standard)
- 4 interchangeable thumbsticks (2 standard, 1 large, 1 dome)
- 4 paddles (2 medium, 2 mini)
- 1 carrying case
- 1 charging station
- 1 USB-C cable
