Customization, CoD Style
The best part? These controllers are available through Microsoft’s Xbox Design Labs, so you get the freedom to tweak certain elements to your liking, although the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 theme remains mandatory (not that anyone’s complaining). Starting at £84.55 for the standard controller and £124.99 for the Elite Series 2, the options allow players to personalize while still getting the official Black Ops 6 vibes.
The design showcases visual elements aimed at immersing players in the game’s world. But come on, we all know you’re going to spend more time looking at the screen than the controller, right? Still, it’s all about aesthetic points. The controllers’ standout feature is their metallic orange d-pad, but no worries—you can swap it out for a colour that fits your style.
Level Up Your Xbox Series X with a Wrap
Not just stopping at controllers, Microsoft is also rolling out a Black Ops 6-themed wrap for your Xbox Series X console. Priced at £49.99, the wrap offers a sleek, matching look for those who want to go all-in on the Black Ops theme.
Available for pre-order now, the wrap is expected to ship starting October 23rd. And if you pre-order before the 22nd of October, Microsoft is throwing in a 1-hour Double XP token for Black Ops 6—perfect for kicking off your game experience on the right foot.
How to Get Yours
Both the controllers and the wrap are available for purchase right now through Microsoft’s Xbox Design Labs and Microsoft Store, so if you want to deck out your gaming setup in full Black Ops 6 swag, the time is now. However, the Double XP pre-order bonus is limited while supplies last, so act fast if you want that extra boost.
Game Launch and Game Pass Availability
For those eagerly awaiting the launch, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 drops on October 25th, and it’ll be available across PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC. Additionally, players with Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass subscriptions will get access to the game at no extra cost. If you were planning on sneaking in with a free trial, think again—Microsoft has already removed the Game Pass free trial ahead of the Black Ops 6 launch, signalling just how hyped this release is.
Ready to Dive In?
Whether you’re pre-ordering the accessories, the game, or both, the anticipation for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is officially in full swing. Between the stylish, customizable controllers and that sleek console wrap, Microsoft is ensuring that your Black Ops 6 experience will be next-level—even before you load into your first match.
