The official Xbox One Elite Controller release date has been revealed, and it ties neatly in with Halo 5.
If you want to get the ultimate Xbox One gaming experience, you might be tempted by the Xbox One Elite Controller and all its customisation options.
Well, now you know that you’ll be able to get your hands on it from October 27, as revealed by Amazon, which just happens to be the same as the Halo 5: Guardians release date.
It’s not much of a surprise that Microsoft is choosing to release this new controller on the very same day as its biggest Xbox One game launch.
That’s particularly because it’s an FPS, and the new controller is aimed at competitive gamers who will most definitely want to try it out with Halo 5: Guardians.
You can pre-order it now for the rather eye-watering price of £119.99.
