New Special Edition Gold Shadow Xbox Controller Revealed.

If you're a fan of all things that shimmer and are a fan of the Xbox One Shadow controller series, then boy do we have some exciting news to share with you. A new Xbox One controller has been revealed, and this time the design is a beautiful dark matte gold that fades to black. If you're interested in snagging the new controller, you better act quick as it will only be available for a limited time starting from mid-October.

If you're the type of gamer that likes to add a bit of style to their gaming experience, then you are most likely familiar with the Xbox One Shadow series. The series which features a unique gradient effect, began back in 2016 with the release of Copper Shadow and Dusk Shadow controllers. These controllers became hugely popular and since then, Xbox has released even more colors including Dawn, Ocean, not to be mistaken for Aqua and Volcano Shadow variants. The line's popularity also spawned another line of controllers, unlike previous releases, the trio of controllers had the gradient fade to translucent rather than black.

 

While these controllers are incredibly aesthetically pleasing, they have been absent from the spotlight for quite some time, with the last release being the Phantom controller which came out almost three years ago. However, it would seem that the wait is finally over as Xbox has just revealed the newest Xbox Wireless Controller Golf Shadow Special Edition, which features a silky gradient of matte gold which smoothly fades to a deep black. The buttons, triggers and joystick of the controller are the same deep black but the D-Pad is a hybrid mix of both black and gold. With such a shimmering look, it's hard to argue that this is possibly one of the most stylish entries in the Shadow series.

Though the name of the controller, Xbox Wireless Controller Golf Shadow Special Edition would imply that the availability of the controller would be limited and as of writing, it is unclear if that will be the case. While we don't know how long the controller will be considered a special edition, what we do know is that the controller will release on 17 October 2023 and will retail for around $69.99, which is the same as the other more complex Xbox controllers. Pre-orders for the controller are available and will be available from today.
