Microsoft unveils cheaper and simpler Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Controller

The long-rumored white Xbox Elite controller has finally been confirmed and it's not as expensive as you thought it would be.


Microsoft just keeps on winning against Sony when it comes to being the first to the market.

It looks like Microsoft will get the jump on Sony in the white-themed "pro" controller trend.

Sony recently revealed the DualSense Edge. However, Microsoft will have a white controller first with the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 - Core. This new Elite controller is similar to the older ones. It still comes with "adjustable-tension thumbsticks" and "wrap-around rubberized grip", among other features.

Unfortunately, the white Elite controller only ships with a "thumbstick-adjustment tool" and a USB-C cable instead of a set of "interchangeable components".

Of course, you only have to pay $129.99 for the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 - Core as opposed to the $179.99 price of the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2.

If you prefer to customize your white Elite controller, don't worry. You can buy an additional Complete Component Pack for $59.99.

Finally, Microsoft just confirmed that Xbox Elite customization is coming to the Design Lab sometime "this holiday".

The Xbox Elite Series 2 Core should give the DualSense Edge a good run for its money in terms of features and pricing.

Microsoft is currently in the middle of a public spat with Sony after Phil Spencer revealed to everyone what Jim Ryan claims was supposed to be private information pertaining to Call of Duty.
