The Xbox wireless controller is one of the most recognisable and versatile gamepads on the market, and right now you can pick one up at Amazon for noticeably less. As of Aug. 26, Amazon has marked huge discounts on the Xbox wireless controller in various colours, some only for a limited time.

Whether you’re upgrading your current setup, wanting to add in a second player for Gears of War Reloaded co-op, or just fancy a fresh colour, this is the perfect time to grab one for less.

Here’s the full breakdown of the current controller deals:

Since prices on Xbox hardware, including consoles and controllers, went up in May 2025, deals this good have been quite rare. With that, it's more than the best time to jump in and add a new colour to your arsenal.

The 2025 edition of the Xbox Wireless Gaming Controller keeps everything players already loved and adds a few welcome refinements. For instance, sculpted surfaces and updated geometry make it one of the most comfortable gamepads to hold for long stretches, even compared to PlayStation's still-fantastic PS5 DualSense controller.

Meanwhile, the hybrid D-pad and textured grip on the triggers and bumpers provide extra precision in the heat of battle.

With up to 40 hours of battery life, you’ll spend more time playing and less time charging when you’re playing the new Xbox version of Helldivers 2. The dedicated Share button makes it effortless to capture and share screenshots or clips with friends.

Plus, thanks to built-in Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth technology, you can easily switch between devices. That means seamless gaming not just on Xbox Series X|S consoles, but also on Xbox Ones, Windows PCs, Android and iOS devices, Fire TV Sticks, smart TVs, and even VR headsets.

There’s also a 3.5mm jack for wired headsets, while the USB-C port ensures fast plug-and-play connectivity if you’d prefer a direct connection.

For those who like to tweak, the Xbox Accessories app allows full custom button mapping so you can tailor the controller exactly to your style of play.
