Microsoft has just released two stunning Witcher 3-themed Xbox controllers to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. These special edition controllers are exclusively available at the Microsoft Store, with the standard version priced at $79.99 and the Elite Series 2 at $169.99. As a fan of the game, I find it incredible that it's already been a decade since its release.

Both controllers boast intricate Geralt of Rivia-inspired etchings, featuring the iconic wolf medallion from the game etched into the center. Additionally, they include Glagolitic script, the oldest known Slavic alphabet used in The Witcher 3. The right grip sports the distinctive red claw marks that form the "III" seen on the game's cover, adding to their unique appeal.
Functionally, these controllers maintain the high standards of their non-themed counterparts. The standard Xbox controller is renowned for its ergonomic design and durability, making it a favorite among gamers, including myself, and it can withstand the rough play of my kids.
The Elite Series 2 model, with its higher price, offers enhanced features such as adjustable-tension thumbsticks, hair trigger locks, and a wrap-around rubberized grip. It also comes with customizable components including various thumbstick heights, different D-pad designs, and rear paddles that can be assigned to any button, providing a tailored gaming experience.
These new controllers are compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android devices, ensuring versatility across multiple platforms. For those not solely invested in Xbox, consider checking out the newly available Death Stranding 2-themed PS5 controller, which is now open for preorders.
