Xbox's new controller is now available worldwide and comes with a dynamic background for the Xbox Series S/X.
Microsoft has launched a new version of the Xbox Wireless Controller, dubbed the ‘Stellar Shift’.
Xbox announced the latest release on its Twitter page on February 7, and also on a product page on the Microsoft Store.
"Experience the Xbox Wireless Controller – Stellar Shift Special Edition, featuring a color-shifting, blue-purple shimmer, and rubberized purple swirl grips that bring each controller to life," the product page reads.
Xbox also announced the new release shares some elements with the standard series, like the unique color-shifting effect that turns the controller purple or blue depending on the reflection angle.
The front faceplate of the controller also has a sheen, while the grips possess a purple-coloured swirl that Xbox says is unique to each controller.

Microsoft released the Elite Series 2 as a follow-up to the Xbox Elite Controller, but this latest edition is the fanciest and most affordable, with a reported retail price of less than $100 (N74,000).
Microsoft also makes customized versions through the Xbox Design Lab, where users can apply features from the standard controllers and the Elite versions.
The new controller can also connect to Android, iOS, and PC via Bluetooth. Gamers can acquire the controller today for $69.99(N51,792) on the Microsoft Store and retailers worldwide.
