Microsoft launched the new Astral Purple color for Xbox wireless controllers this week. Compatible with Xbox One, Xbox Series
In addition to the controls housing itself, dark purple is present on the analog sticks, menu buttons and as the background of the action buttons. The directional pad follows the same pattern as the traditional Xbox Series controls, but in matte black, also used on the triggers and shoulder buttons.
New design, same quality
In terms of technologies, all components follow the same quality standards as traditional gamepads, with responsive and precise activation, balanced weight and comfortable grip, even for slightly smaller hands. Because it’s easy to connect to mobile devices, it’s also a good way to enjoy Xbox Cloud games on smartphones and tablets.
The Astral Purple controls use two AA batteries, with an estimated autonomy of 40 hours, have a USB type-C port for direct connection via cable and a 3.5 mm headset port on the bottom. With a suggested price of R$599, the new gamepads are scheduled to hit the national market in October at authorized resellers.
