Over the past couple of years, Microsoft has celebrated its platform – specifically the Xbox 360. During its 20th anniversary, the firm shared a collaboration with Adidas on decorated Forum Mid sneakers based on the console. The Xbox firm even rolled out recreated Xbox avatar imaged of the original stock pictures from that generation too. But, there was also some farewells as Xbox 360 games would be no more for Xbox Games with Gold as of October 2022.

However, Hyperkin is continuing to champion the Xbox 360. Previously, the hardware manufacturer was noted for the recreation of the original ‘Duke’ controller for newer hardware alongside specialized models for Xbox’s 20th birthday. Even developing the ‘Pupper’ Nintendo Switch controller, the firm takes interest in creating appealing accessories for all platforms.

This week, the Xbox 360-inspired Xenon controllers officially went live for pre-order. Costing $49.99, you have an option between original White, Black, Red, or Pink as color choices. However, these gamepads will be embracing wired power unlike the original Xbox 360 controller.

“Hyperkin has recreated the Xbox 360 Controller as an officially Xbox-licensed controller, compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows 10|11 PCs. The Xenon features precision analog triggers, a share button for Xbox Series X|S, vibration feedback for realistic experiences, a 3.5mm headset jack, and a detachable 10 ft. Type-C cable,” Hyperkin puts for the description.

“The Xenon takes you back to 2005, when you and your buds spent nights filled with fun, competition, and bonds that last to this day. You’ve come full circle.” The controller does come with extra features including an Xbox Series X|S share button, impulse triggers, and a USB-C charging port.
