Microsoft has unveiled a new limited-edition Xbox controller scheduled to debut this fall, accompanying the Forza Horizon 5 release on Xbox consoles and PC. The remixed variant of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S controller joins the next entry in its cross-country racing series, bringing a splash of neon to the standard silhouette.
The Forza Horizon 5 controller draws influence from the anarchic virtual festival, splattering vibrant hues across a translucent yellow shell. The result fits the tone of the new Mexican setting, with textured grips inspired by steering wheels for a distinct motorsport twist.
This controller packs all the benefits of other Xbox Series X|S controllers, including new textured triggers, an improved directional pad, and a dedicated Share button. The controller works with Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Bluetooth-enabled devices like PC and mobile.
The limited-edition Forza Horizon 5 controller launches alongside the game on November 9, with preorders live via the Microsoft Store, priced at $75. Those who purchase the controller will also unlock an exclusive Ford Coupe Forza Edition car, plus a character cosmetic, and emote.
