After a lot of rumors, not to mention a handful of leaks, the Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller White has finally been confirmed by Microsoft. The premium pad is part of the new Xbox Elite Series 2 — Core range and pre-orders are now open. 

Dedicated Xbox Series X players looking for the ultimate gaming experience, will definitely want to invest in one of these super luxury Elite controllers. The black version of the pad is often ranked as one of the best controllers on the market, and this new model with a white makeover is arguably even more striking.

What is the Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller White?

Watch On

The Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller White is a cosmetic reskin of the already-available black version of the controller, but as it’s part of the new “Core” range it does omit some accessories in the name of a reduced price.

Retailing for $129, the Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller White does not come with a carrying case, charging dock, set of paddles, additional thumbsticks or an additional D-Pad. These accessories all come as standard with the black model, which usually costs around $179. However, Microsoft has also released a separate Complete Component Pack for $59 which includes all these missing accessories if you desire them. 

Otherwise, the Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller White is the exact same controller we raved about in our Editor’s Choice review. We were impressed with pretty much all aspects of the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, apart from its hefty price. And, credit where it’s due, Microsoft have looked to address this issue by making the additional accessories a separate optional purchase this time.
