Xbox is celebrating its 20th anniversary and as part of this, it's released a new Special Edition Xbox Series X|S controller.
In case you didn't know, it contains a hidden surprise. If you flip it over and remove the battery compartment lid, inside you'll find a signature from the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, and his famous words "when everybody plays, we all win".
Here's a look, courtesy of The Verge's Senior Editor, Tom Warren:
That's not the only hidden surprise of the Xbox Series X|S anniversary controller - when you connect it to your Xbox, you'll also unlock a 20th anniversary dynamic background. Here's a bit extra about the design of it:
"Sleek and sentimental โ all in one package. The 20th Anniversary Special Edition controller is a fresh spin on the translucent green of the original Xbox Debug kit. The body of the controller features a translucent black finish with silver internals so you can see every detail. The nostalgic, green Xbox button brings us back to the first green Xbox logo. The iconic color can also be found on the back grips and around the hybrid D-pad."

Yep already preordered
Question: does this have a difference with the regular controller that comes with the console or is just a "skin"?
@AFCC Yeah it has rubber grips on the backside. Aside from that nothing else I believe.
I love stuff like this, great touch ๐
Have mine ordered from amazon. Think its coming tomorrow. Controller looks real nice!
Hopefully they keep selling this one throughout the year because I really donโt want to be fighting scalpers for one.
Got this coming tomorrow; can't wait!
Email saying it would be delivered today from amazon by 10pm. 9pm now & not out for delivery. Bravo Amazonโฆโฆ Bravo ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐
@hbkay exactly the same as mine buddy, think they will come tomorrow
Damn, how did I miss the announcement of this controller? I want this so badly but it seems to be out of stock everywhere
Looks nice. But I'm not getting another controller. As the one I have seems faulty. Had it replaced and has the exact same faults. So assuming it's a xbox controller thing. I prefer to get a PS5 controller tho, that I could possibly use for the PC.
Thatโs lovely and a great quote, Fanboys take note.
I got the Forza one and I kinda what this one too. Already have 5 controllers for two machines though I feel 6 is overkill.
Mine got delivered today, love the rubber grips (first controller with them)
Lets just hope they don't start peeling off like i've heard about other rubber grip Xbox controllers
