Today, Xbox has announced a new Xbox Elite Series 2 controller. The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core in white is designed to meet the core needs of today’s competitive gamers, putting exceptional performance, customization, and durability where it matters most – in the hands of players. Xbox also announced that the Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is coming to Xbox Design Lab in the holiday.
The biggest difference between the Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core in white and the current Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is the lack of premium interchangeable components including different thumbsticks, D-pad, and paddle shapes. Players who want the extra components can purchase the Complete Component pack for $59.99. The new Elite Wireless Series 2 – Core in white costs $129.99 and the current Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 costs $179.99.
“Since Xbox Design Lab debuted in 2016, the number one fan request has been to include Elite controllers in our unique customization program to empower further personalization of that premium experience,” Daniel Ruiz, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Xbox Accessories said. “Today we’re announcing that coming this holiday, you will be able to do just that when we bring Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 to Xbox Design Lab! We’re excited to bring more choices to gamers around the world and can’t wait to see how fans reimagine what it is to be Elite.”
“We’ve heard players loud and clear and have continued to improve Elite Series 2 controllers to be more reliable than ever before with refined components that are built to last. For added peace of mind, Elite Series 2 controllers come with Microsoft’s 1-year limited warranty2. The best part is that Elite Series 2 controllers are designed to be fully customizable, so you can play with a specific setup that works best for you,” Ruiz said.
The Xbox Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core in white and the Complete Component Pack are available to pre-order today.
