Starfield Xbox Controller Comes With Dynamic Background For Xbox Series X|S
Both accessories are available now to buy ahead of the game's September 6 launch.
After leaks and sightings in retail stores, the Starfield-themed Xbox controller was officially confirmed. Bethesda Game Studios also unveiled a limited-edition Xbox wireless headset that complements the pad. If you purchase the Starfield controller, you'll unlock a Dynamic Background for Xbox Series X|S.
Both of the limited-edition accessories are available to buy now. The Starfield controller costs $80, while the headset goes for $125.
Bethesda also said during the Starfield Direct that the wireless controller is inspired by your ship's controls in the game. There are transparent triggers on the pad, displaying bronze rumble motors, according to the Xbox Store. A special-edition Seagate hard drive was also revealed and releases alongside the game. Keep in mind that you can't boot Series X|S or PS5 games from an external drive--you have to transfer them to the internal drive first.
There will also be a Starfield Collector's Edition that comes with five days of early access to the game along with a smartwatch. For details on all editions of the game, check out our Starfield preorder guide.
The Starfield Direct was a deep dive into the upcoming game from Bethesda. We learned how space combat lets you dogfight or board enemy ships. We learned that the sci-fi game boasts the most detailed character creation yet in a Bethesda game. And we learned that Starfield has sinister cults and space cowboys.
Microsoft is no stranger to special-edition controllers, releasing special versions for a variety of first-party games and also offering nearly endless customization options with the Xbox Design Lab. Starfield is scheduled to hit Xbox Series X|S and PC on September 6.
