Microsoft has unveiled the Xbox Nano Controller, a compact, rechargeable gamepad set to launch on November 4th for $49.99 / £44.99. The controller, Microsoft's smallest yet, measures just over 5 inches, weighs 3.5 ounces and is lighter than most smartphones. Priced affordably, it's designed to be a budget-friendly, pocketable choice for players of all ages, catering to smaller hands or those who need a portable gaming option.

It retains all 18 standard Xbox gameplay inputs, supporting popular games like Minecraft Dungeons 2, Grounded, and Forza Horizon 6. The Nano Controller comes equipped with a rechargeable battery and a programmable Action Button for custom functions such as screenshots and gameplay capture. It supports Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth, enabling connections with a variety of devices.

Microsoft has partnered with Samsung and Meta for exclusive holiday bundles, offering the controller and a 2-month Game Pass Ultimate subscription to new members purchasing select Samsung TVs or Meta Quest systems.
