Overview
- Xbox, which announced the limited-edition Xbox Wireless Controller and Wireless Headset on Monday, opened preorders at $89.99 and $134.99 with releases reported for May 19 to match the game’s launch.
- The controller features a translucent cyan top case with volt green, hot pink and silver accents, rubberized grips, and track motifs inspired by Japan’s touge mountain roads known for drifting.
- Both accessories connect over Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth to consoles, PC and mobile devices, with up to 40 hours of life on the controller and roughly 20 hours on the rechargeable headset.
- The headset adds custom sound effects that blend a Japanese V8 engine with the Forza Horizon 6 interface, and supports Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X plus Bluetooth LE Audio for wideband voice.
- An officially licensed 8BitDo charging dock priced at $34.99 matches the design, includes a 1100mAh battery pack and magnetic alignment, and fully charges a controller in about three hours with protection against overcharging and overheating.
