New Accessories Coming to Xbox One and One S this Holiday Season

Last week Microsoft announced that they are new accessories coming to the Xbox One and One S lineup. I know that there are a few diehard Xbox accessory people here at XBA who might just be interested in what the team from Microsoft is offereing this holiday season.  

New Xbox Wireless Controller designs

There are two new controller designs coming this fall.

First, the Xbox Wireless Controller Dawn Shadow Special Edition that comes in a metallic magenta that fades into a matte black finish.  Secondly, we have an Xbox Wireless Controller in blue — a fan-favorite color from Xbox Design Lab.

Similar to the controller that was launched alongside Xbox One S, these new controllers have the new streamlined design, textured grip for enhanced comfort, and Bluetooth technology for gaming on Windows 10 PCs, laptops and tablets. The new Dawn Shadow controller will be available in the U.S., Canada, U.K. and other Xbox regions October 4 for $69.99 USD. The blue controller will be available in select regions starting September 27 for $64.99 USD, and will hit the shelves at Microsoft Stores and Best Buy first in the U.S.

New Xbox Wireless Controller coming in black

Microsoft is also updating the black Xbox Wireless Controller to include the new controller features announced at E3. This includes updating the controllers in our PC controller bundles with the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows, and with the USB Charging Cable.  Both bundles allow you to play seamlessly across your Xbox and Windows devices, giving you choice on how you connect to your PC – with Xbox Wireless, USB, or Bluetooth. The Xbox Wireless Controller in black and PC bundles will start arriving in stores worldwide in September and October respectively, starting at $59.99 USD.

(Re -) Introducing the Xbox Stereo Headset

Microsoft will also be shipping the new Xbox Stereo Headset –Special Edition.  This lightweight headset allows you to privately listen to and chat in games on Xbox Live.  The headset also perfect for listening to TV or movies on your Xbox in rich, stereo sound.  Plus, the white color is the perfect complement to the white Xbox One S console and matching controller. You can get the Xbox Stereo Headset – Special Edition at Microsoft Stores and GameStop in the U.S. for $64.99 USD and at participating retailers in all Xbox regions around the world starting in late October.

So there you have it, a few new accessories for those disconcerting Xbox One fans out there.  See anything that interests you?
