November 2021 marks the 20th anniversary of the Xbox and to celebrate, Microsoft announced a new line of limited edition items commemorating the gaming giant's upcoming birthday. The new commemorative accessories include controllers, headsets, charging stations, and a line of 20th anniversary Xbox merch.
The 20th Anniversary Special Edition controller goes on sale on November 15 for $70. As an extra added bonus, connecting the controller to any Xbox Series X or S console unlocks a special 20th-anniversary dynamic background. You could, if you were so inclined, pick one of these up for the holidays and then travel to your Xbox Series-owning friends’ houses and give the gift of a glowing green background.
Also available on November 15 is the $70 20th Anniversary Xbox Stereo Headset. It shares the same translucent black-and-green motif as the controller. Together the two peripherals do a doubly bad job of evoking the clear green debug console.
