Amazon is really jacking up the gaming deals in their Spring Deal Days sale, giving you the limited-time chance to buy a new wireless Xbox controller from just £35.99. While some of the other selections are £4.50 more, the whole selection of colours available for these Series X|S controllers has had a price reduction, so you're getting at least 33% off whichever one you like most.
As a second or spare controller for your Xbox Series X or S console, along with supported games on PC, all those on sale at Amazon right now include the following colours:
- Astral Purple
- Carbon Black
- Deep Pink
- Electric Volt
- Pulse Red
- Robot White
- Shock Blue
- Velocity Green
Although the standard Carbon Black and Robot White—those bundled with the Xbox Series X & S consoles respectively—have been reduced to the lowest price of £35.99, all of the alternative colors have been dropped to a slightly higher yet still impressive £40.49. If you're in need of a new controller to play the newest games, like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 which is on sale now as well, this is a fantastic opportunity.
You have to flaunt Amazon a little bit more of your cash to add a splash of style to your setup with one of these vivid color schemes like Astral Purple, but it does seem worth it. What's more, these other models include the controller's updated design, featuring the X, A, B, and Y buttons being switched from their respective blue, green, red, and yellow colours to match that of their controllers' body.
The original button colours are still shown as tiny dots next to each one, but this update overall gives the controllers a more modest, sleeker appeal that arguably justifies the slightly larger price investment.
For those after a controller with a design that boasts more than one solid colour, Amazon UK also has the Special Fire Vapor Edition of the Xbox Series X|S controller as well, reduced by 20% to £51.99. Featuring titular vapor-like red-and-orange swirls, this bold colour scheme will invoke a little extra energy into your console setup if that's what you're looking for.
