Microsoft has just announced a new Xbox wireless controller that you can get your hands on with a design called Stormcloud Vapor. The entire front and sides of the hand grips are awash in a haze of blue storm clouds that look like they’re shifting across the surface of the controller. Ther triggers and backside of the controller with the battery door are a much darker shade of blue. While the backs of the hand grips are a bit lighter than everything else.

It provides a really cool aesthetic that would look in any collection. Especially if you love blue. And it goes up for pre-order today from Microsoft at $69.99 if you wanted to add it to yours. It’ll launch officially on August 8 though. The controller also comes with a neat bonus you might want.

Xbox just recently launched an update for the Xbox Series X|S consoles that implemented a new home UI that looks fantastic. A new feature of this home UI is the ability for the background to change based on the game highlighted. But you can still use dynamic backgrounds if you prefer them.

And you might want to use them if you pick up this controller because it comes with an exclusive dynamic background. The background will show up for you once you connect the controller to your console. And features a series of blue swirls that shift across the screen. The design is very much like what you see on the controller itself, only the storm clouds actually move.

It’s a really neat pairing if you like the whole storm aesthetic. The Stormcloud Vapor controller is a special edition model so it may not always be in stock. Although that depends on its popularity. Some of the other special edition controllers have been more popular and ended up being harder to get a hold of. In short, don’t sleep on this controller if you like it lest you miss out on an opportunity to get one.
