Microsoft has announced a new Xbox Stormcloud Vapor controller that’s set to come out soon, but it brings with it a first for their hardware.
The new Xbox Stormcloud Vapor controller comes with an exclusive dynamic background for Xbox Series X and S consoles. Preorders are now live and the new pad is set to launch on August 8th.
If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, each controller has its own unique “puff of vapor” pattern, so no two controllers look the same.
Here’s a product blurb for the new controller:
Introducing a brand-new controller to the Xbox lineup, the Xbox Wireless Controller – Stormcloud Vapor Special Edition. This controller’s rich color will pull you in, featuring a dynamic dark navy swirl – each with its own energy and pattern.
