A new special edition Xbox controller has been revealed – here’s how to preorder


Microsoft has unveiled the Nocturnal Vapor Special Edition Xbox Wireless Controller, an upcoming Xbox Wireless Controller colorway that features an attractive smokey green design.
Revealed in a new post to the official Xbox Wire blog, the controller’s face plate comes in a pattern that blends dark and light green elements in a swirl effect. Like the recent Stormcloud Vapor Special Edition and Dream Vapor Special Edition controllers, each Nocturnal Vapor Special Edition controller will feature a wholly unique design thanks to its manufacturing process.
The controller is currently available for preorder right now in both the US and UK for $69.99 / £64.99. Here’s everything you need to know if you’re interested in securing one for yourself.
