This release expands hardware options for the ecosystem, with a $50 price point and a phased international rollout beginning in November 2026.
Connection and customization options
The controller connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to Xbox consoles, PCs, mobile phones and compatible smart TVs. It also includes a button that can be programmed through the Xbox Accessories app, allowing users to assign specific actions to it.
Availability and price
The controller is priced at $50. Pre-orders are already open, with first shipments in the US starting on November 4, 2026. The device is expected to be released in 35 more countries that same month.
