The controller will be priced at $79.99 / £74.99 / €79.99, as leaked by billbil-kun. Microsoft will officially confirm these details at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, with preorders opening on August 26. No information is available about the X25 Special Edition Xbox Series X at this time.\n\nThe controller, which shares its translucent green color with the limited-edition Xbox Series X console, will be bundled with a matching controller. It is expected to launch alongside the console sometime in November. While Xbox has not announced a dedicated press conference for Gamescom, the company will hold two days of livestreams showcasing its extensive lineup of upcoming titles. These include Gears of War: E-Day, Minecraft Dungeons 2, and Fable on August 26, followed by updates for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, and more on August 27.\n\nGamescom's main Opening Night Live showcase may reveal additional surprises.
