Microsoft has unveiled the Xbox Nano Controller, a portable gaming controller aimed at younger players, those with smaller hands, and anyone seeking a more compact option for gaming. The lightweight controller maintains the familiar Xbox button layout while being significantly smaller in size, enabling easy transportation during travel, visits to friends, or gaming outside of a primary setup.
Measuring slightly over 5 inches in length, the Xbox Nano Controller weighs just 3.5 ounces (99 grams), marking it as Microsoft's smallest controller to date. Despite its diminutive size, the controller includes all 18 standard Xbox controller inputs. It also features a rechargeable battery and a programmable Action Button, allowing users to assign it to often-used functions like taking screenshots or recording gameplay.
The controller supports Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, ensuring compatibility with various gaming platforms. It can connect to Xbox consoles, Windows PCs, iOS and Android devices, along with supported smart TVs. Its compact design also makes it a suitable choice for local multiplayer gaming, as demonstrated by titles such as Minecraft Dungeons II, which supports cooperative play for up to four players.
Pricing for the Xbox Nano Controller stands at $49.99 in the US and is currently available for preorder on Microsoft's official website. The controller is set to launch in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, China, Japan, and multiple European and Latin American countries in November 2026, with additional regions to follow, though pricing and availability may differ among markets. Microsoft has not disclosed specific launch dates for each region.
To add to the holiday season, Microsoft is offering promotional bundles in the US through partnerships with Samsung and Meta. Purchasing an eligible Samsung TV will grant new subscribers an Xbox Nano Controller and two months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, while a similar bundle is also available with eligible Meta Quest headsets.
