Xbox's Latest Vapor Series Controller Features an Earthy-Tone Swirl
With 20 days until Earth Day, Xbox has unveiled a new wireless controller that’s perfect for the occasion, offering a lovely fusion of earthy tones with a nice swirl.
In a new Xbox Wire blog post, Microsoft announced a new color variant to its Vapor series of gamepads. The new Nocturnal Vapor Special Edition, as described by the tech giant, has a color scheme “inspired by nature at night.” This is the third Vapor series controller, following the Dream Vapor, which was released this past January, and the Stormcloud Vapor.
You can see the design, a mix of light and dark green swirled in black, below.
Beyond a pleasant-to-viewpleasant-to-view color scheme, Microsoft notes other standard features you’d expect from an Xbox wireless controller: a 3.5mm audio jack, compatibility with both Xbox Series X/S and One system, support for PC, Android, and iOS devices, and up to 40 hours of battery life.
Though Xbox is not marketing this as an Earth Day controller, the design certainly evokes some nature vibes. In contrast, Xbox announced roughly a year ago today that it created a wireless controller “made partly” from recycled CDs, water jugs, and even other Xbox controller parts.
Like the other Vapor series controllers, the Noctural Vapor will cost $69.99. It’s set to be released on April 9. Preorders are now available on the Microsoft Store for those interested in snagging the Nocturnal Vapor Special Edition.
