New Witcher 3 Xbox Controllers Drop

If you’re a huge fan of The Witcher 3 (and let’s be real, half of us are), Microsoft might’ve just made your entire week. The company just unveiled new limited-edition Xbox controllers that are downright gorgeous. These aren’t just any themed accessories—these are official 10th anniversary controllers celebrating The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

And yes, they look as cool as they sound.

Designed for Geralt’s Legacy

These anniversary controllers are sold exclusively through the Microsoft Store. You’ve got two flavors to choose from:

• Standard Edition: $79.99
• Elite Series 2: A wallet-wincing $169.99

That price spike? It comes with a few perks (more on that below). But first, let’s talk about design.

Both controllers feature Geralt of Rivia–inspired etchings. Front and center? The iconic wolf medallion he wears around his neck, beautifully etched into the controller’s faceplate. And yes, it looks absolutely killer.

The post announcing them also noted the use of Glagolitic Script—the oldest known Slavic alphabet—which appears throughout The Witcher 3. It’s a subtle nod for the lore nerds. On the right grip, you’ll find those unmistakable red claw marks that form the Roman numeral III, a direct callback to the game’s title design.

Just a Fancy Shell? Not Exactly

Looks aside, these controllers work just like their standard counterparts. They come in the same base colors and should feel identical in your hands—sturdy enough for your own epic quests or to survive your kid mashing buttons during Minecraft.

That said, the Elite Series 2 does bring the premium heat:

• Adjustable-tension thumbsticks
• Hair-trigger locks
• Wraparound rubberized grips
• Interchangeable thumbsticks and D-pads
• Rear paddles (custom assignable)

In other words: they did their due diligence, justifying the price hike.

Are these features must-haves? Maybe not. But for diehard fans of The Witcher 3 and Xbox’s Elite hardware? It’s probably already in your cart.

Fully Compatible and Ready to Slay

No matter your gaming setup, these controllers should work right out of the box. They’re fully compatible with:

• Xbox Series X|S
• Xbox One
• Windows PC
• iOS and Android devices

So, if you’re a huge fan of the series (or know someone wink wink), then this might be worth the price tags they have. If anything, it’ll be a cool collectible to have and show off to your friends and family (and no, you do not have a hole in your soul that you’re trying to fill with cool collectibles!)
