Xbox pulled back the curtain on its latest controller design, the Fire Vapor Special Edition Controller, as part of its ongoing Vapor Controller series exclusively available on the Microsoft Store. Like other Vapor Controllers from Xbox, the Fire Vapor Controller comes with a special dynamic background for Xbox console users to enjoy.

The new Xbox Fire Vapor Controller arrives during a busy season for Xbox console development. Earlier in May, Microsoft shared some quality-of-life changes that Xbox Insiders can test before public release. These new features include the ability for Xbox Cloud Gaming users to manage game saves from a web browser, and Xbox console users can save multiple Wi-Fi networks on a single unit and switch between them effortlessly. Previous updates to the Xbox console firmware included Discord functionality improvements, access restrictions for guest accounts, and new game hubs on the Xbox app for Windows 10/11. The current Xbox Insider update will be released to the public in the coming days.

In the meantime, Microsoft gave Xbox controller collectors another catchy design to peruse. Starting at $69.99, the Xbox Fire Vapor Special Edition Controller is now available exclusively on the Microsoft Store. The Fire Vapor Controller joins other Vapor Series products, such as the Nocturnal Vapor and Storm Vapor controllers. The Xbox Fire Vapor Controller is compatible with Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and mobile devices via Bluetooth, and comes with up to 40 hours of battery life. The controller can also be plugged into an Xbox console or PC via USB-C, and accessories such as a headset can be hooked up via the 3.5mm audio jack on the bottom side of the controller. The controller's design features a dark brown D-Pad, dark brown control sticks, and transparent face buttons to match the controller's flaming colors.
