The new Special Edition Remix of the Xbox controller was presented today, inspired by the theme of environmental sustainability and the reuse of resources, proposed in combination with a play & charge kit consisting of rechargeable batteries and USB-C cable.

The new controller will go on sale starting from April 18, at a price of € 84.99 (but it can already be pre-ordered at this address), just a few days before Earth Day 2023, set for April 22. The circumstance is certainly not accidental, given that this special edition is inspired by the themes of ecological awareness and sustainability, which have long been at the center of Microsoft's business and commercial strategy.

Already from the name, Remix, this special controller suggests one of its main peculiarities, namely that of being made of recycled plastic, with a share of 1/3 coming from the pulverization and reuse of plastics of old discarded Xbox One controllers. The combination of this material with recycled resins from other fields, gives life to a new material characterized by small variations, traces and textures that make the look of each specimen of this controller unique Remix Special Edition.
The controller comes with a decidedly suggestive color palette, in which, given the theme, the green shade could only predominate, inspired by the colors of the lichen colonies present in the forests of the northwest Pacific coast.

To complete its "green" vocation, the controller is bundled with an Xbox rechargeable battery and its connection cable. In addition to reducing the polluting impact caused by exhausted batteries, it is an excellent system to be able to play free from the problem of having to replace the batteries: you can charge the battery even while you are playing and Xbox declares an autonomy of up to 30 hours for a fully recharged battery.

We remind you that, like all new generation controllers, this Remix Special Edition is fully compatible with Xbox One consoles, as well as being usable on PCs and other devices thanks to Bluetooth support.
