Xbox Officially Announces New Xbox Nano Controller
The Xbox Nano Controller is light, practical, and portable, allowing players to take their gaming just about anywhere.
Microsoft has unveiled the Xbox Nano Controller, a more affordable alternative to the company's standard and premium Xbox controllers. The $49.99 Nano controller, announced on Wednesday, is designed for younger players, those with smaller hands, or anyone looking for a portable gaming option. Measuring 5 inches wide and weighing 3.5 ounces, the Nano Controller is significantly smaller and lighter than the standard Xbox Wireless and Elite controllers, which measure 6 inches wide and weigh 10 and 12 ounces, respectively.
Despite its compact size, the Nano Controller retains all 18 standard gameplay inputs. Powered by a rechargeable battery that charges via USB-C, the Nano Controller is compatible with Xbox consoles, PCs, mobile phones, and smart TVs through Bluetooth. Pre-orders are already available, with a release date of November 4 in select territories.
To prevent scalpers, each account can purchase up to five controllers per order. Special holiday promotions will include a special Nano Controller and two months of Game Pass Ultimate with select Samsung TVs in the United States. The launch of the Xbox Nano Controller comes as Microsoft continues to make a series of announcements, including Xbox XP and Xbox Labs.
