Night Ops Camo Special Edition

The Xbox Wireless Controller: Night Ops Camo Special Edition is the first in a brand-new series of controllers and Microsoft's take on a pattern that is classic and iconic. The dark palette of black, grey, and warm metallic gold on a slightly textured body gives the Night Ops Camo Special Edition a rugged and urban street vibe.

You can preorder one right now or pick it up on October 8 for $70.

Sport Blue Special Edition

Inspired by sports lifestyle, activewear, and pop culture, the Xbox Wireless Controller: Sport Blue Special Edition is the third installment in the Sport Series. Like its predecessors, the Sport White Special Edition and Sport Red Special Edition, the Sport Blue Special Edition features a geometric design with eye-catching metallic accents and a metallic D-Pad.

You can preorder one right now or pick it up on September 17 for $70.
