Xbox Reveals Nocturnal Vapor Controller

3.9

The latest Xbox Vapor gamepad, the special edition Nocturnal Vapor Controller, is now available to pre-order. Microsoft’s gaming consoles have always offered up fun alternate controllers in a variety of unique color schemes, and the Xbox Series X/S is no different. From themed controllers inspired by Xbox games like Fallout and Halo Infinite to special designs made to commemorate events like Earth Day, there is no limit to the options that players have while picking out the perfect peripheral for their Series X/S or other compatible platforms.

Earlier this year, Xbox introduced its new line of Vapor Series X/S controllers, all featuring swirling color schemes that can be selected on the Xbox Design Lab website. These psychedelically designed gamepads came after the Stormcloud Vapor Xbox controller, which was released last summer and featured a unique color pattern on each individual unit. Later on, other Vapor designs were announced, as well as a special Xbox dynamic background with a swirling pink-and-purple backdrop.

Now Xbox is releasing the special-edition Nocturnal Vapor controller, which was leaked late last month. The Nocturnal Vapor gamepad is set to launch on April 9, with pre-orders now available for $69.99 on the official Xbox website. As its name implies, this Xbox controller design aims to recreate the look of nature at night with a serene, swirling black-and-dark-green color pattern that is unique to each unit. This pattern is spread across the controller’s top case, with matching dark green buttons, joysticks, and rubberized back grips.

The soon-to-be-released Xbox Nocturnal Vapor controller comes with a plethora of features to help players perform at their very best, including a 40-hour battery life and a 3.5mm audio jack that can be used to plug in any Xbox-compatible headset for easy listening or chatting with friends online. Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth technology allow gamers to connect seamlessly with any Xbox Series X/S or Xbox One console, as well as PCs, iOS, and Android devices.

The previous Xbox Vapor controllers have all sported stylish designs for any Series X/S player’s tastes, and the upcoming Nocturnal Vapor controller looks to continue this with a striking green-and-black pattern that recreates the colors of the night in the palm of its user’s hands. This controller will be available later this month, but eager Xbox fans looking for a new gamepad with a unique look can pre-order one right now.
