The Xbox 360 was launched on November 22nd, 2005, and to commemorate this, Hyperkin is issuing a replica Xbox 360 controller called the Xenon.
Named after the codename of the Xbox 360, details of this controller are currently limited. What we do know is that it is a wired-only controller (although the cable is removable there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth option) for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows 10 and 11 PCs.
No mention of Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck/Linux support at this point.
Here’s how Hyperkin announced its licensed Xenon Xbox 360 controller replica.
Of course, wider compatibility would be nice, but it’s a nice looking piece of kit. Carefully perusal of the photos reveals the Xenon Xbox 360 controller has an additional button. This is believed to support additional menu options such as menu, view, and share.
The release date has not been announced; the price for the Hyperkin Xenon is also under wraps, but expect it to be around the price of a standard controller. You’ll be able to buy this replica Xbox 360 controller in white, black, red, and pink.
