Save Big On The New Astral Purple Xbox Controller

Microsoft has released more than a dozen versions of its iconic Xbox Wireless Controller, but one of the newest (and most popular) models is the Astral Purple variant. Launched in September, the vibrant gamepad hasn't seen many discounts since its arrival--but as part of Amazon's early Black Friday deals, you'll find it listed for just $52.

$52 (was $65)

Featuring a deep purple faceplate, a white backplate, and black accents, the Astral Purple controller is remarkably sleek. Beyond its good looks, this is a traditional Xbox Series X controller, complete with textured grips, a dedicated Share button, and a 3.5mm headset jack. This Black Friday deal is bringing the gamepad down to its lowest price ever--so be sure to check it out if you need a controller for Xbox or PC.
