![]() ![]() Make no mistake, nostalgia is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here, but collectors might like to add it to their collection. Hardly the premium experience players have come to expect from their hardware. ![]() That’s to say nothing of the D-pad – forget articulated inputs, this thing’s just a chunk of plastic stuck on-top of an 8-way analog stick and is widely regarded as one of the worst D-pads around.

You’ll be able to nab the Xenon in black, white, pink, and red. The Xenon will be compatible with both Xbox Series X|S and PC, so you can use it to play all the best Xbox Series games with the same functionality as the current, standard Xbox Wireless Controller. The controller is a wired-only gamepad, though, which might put some people off. Menu, View and Share buttons have all been added in place of the Start and Back inputs, alongside a 3.5mm headphone jack and a detachable USB-C cable. The officially licensed gamepad – named the Xenon after the Xbox 360’s internal codename – will be a close replica of the original controller, albeit with a few tweaks to bring it into the current gaming generation. Peripheral manufacturer Hyperkin is bringing back the Xbox 360’s iconic controller in celebration of the console’s 17th anniversary. □ No release date or price has yet been announced ✨ The gamepad is being tweaked to bring it into the current gaming generation □ Hyperkin is remaking the classic controller for Xbox Series X|S and PC □ An officially licensed re-release of the Xbox 360 controller is on the way ![]()
