Microsoft's Classic Xbox 360 Controller

Microsoft fans and gamers alike are in for a treat as the classic Xbox 360 controller is set to make a comeback. Hyperkin, a gaming hardware company, has announced that a new version of the iconic Xbox 360 controller, dubbed the “Xenon” model, is set to be released on June 6th of this year.

What’s even better is that the Xenon model is designed to be compatible with the latest Xbox consoles, including the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One, as well as PC platforms. This means that gamers can experience the nostalgia of the Xbox 360 era while still enjoying the latest technology available on modern consoles.

The Xbox 360 controller has been a favorite among gamers since its release in 2005, and its design has served as the basis for the current Xbox controller layout seen on modern consoles. While the latest models of the Xbox controller have seen some improvements over the past 10 to 15 years, the Xbox 360 iteration still holds a special place in the hearts of many gamers who enjoyed the console during its heyday.

The Hyperkin Xenon model is set to retail for $49.99, making it an affordable option for gamers who want to relive the glory days of the Xbox 360. Pre-orders for the Xenon model are set to go live on May 5th, giving eager fans the chance to secure their own controller in advance of its formal arrival.

Whether you’re a die-hard Xbox fan or a nostalgic gamer, the new Xbox 360 controller re-release is sure to provide an exciting gaming experience. So mark your calendars for June 6th and get ready to game like it’s 2005!

For gamers who have been around for a while, the announcement of a new collaboration between Hyperkin and Xbox to release a new version of the Xbox 360 controller may bring back memories of the early days of gaming. This isn’t the first time that these two companies have worked together on a project like this, either. In fact, just a few years ago, Hyperkin released new models of “The Duke”, which is the original Xbox controller, to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the gaming brand.

Now, with the release of this updated Xbox 360 controller, Hyperkin is once again tapping into the nostalgia factor that many gamers feel for these classic consoles and controllers. While the Xbox 360 may not have been as revolutionary as the original Xbox, it still holds a special place in the hearts of many gamers who grew up playing on the system.

It’s interesting to see how Hyperkin has been able to revive these classic controllers and make them relevant again in today’s gaming landscape. In many ways, these throwback controllers offer a glimpse into the past and provide a unique and tangible connection to gaming history. For those who still have their original Xbox 360 console or are playing older games on their Xbox One, this new controller offers a chance to relive those experiences with a more modern design and updated features.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether Hyperkin and Xbox will continue to collaborate on future throwback controllers, or if this latest release will be the end of the line. Regardless, it’s exciting to see that these classic controllers and consoles are still able to capture the attention and imagination of gamers, even after all these years. Who knows what other throwback surprises may be in store for us in the future?
