Microsoft Unveils "Floating" Xbox Controller and Themed Console for Dune Fans
In anticipation of Dune: Part 2 and the Microsoft Flight Simulator expansion, Microsoft has unveiled a unique collector's set featuring a visually striking "floating" Xbox controller and a custom Xbox Series S console.
While not defying gravity entirely, the controller rests upon a specially designed Ornithopter stand, drawing inspiration from the iconic flying machines of the Dune universe. The stand reflects the vibrant hues of Arrakis's environment, complementing the sleek design of the controller itself.
But the theme doesn't stop there. The accompanying Xbox Series S console embodies the Ornithopter fully, transforming into a functional stand with a matching orange console nestled within. This dedication to the Dune aesthetic creates a truly immersive centerpiece for any gaming setup.
However, acquiring this futuristic duo requires a stroke of luck, as they are exclusive to a sweepstakes running from February 13th to March 25th. Fans can enter by following Xbox on social media and retweeting the official sweepstakes post.
Microsoft has a history of innovating with its controllers, offering limited editions like the Stellar Shift and eco-friendly designs crafted from recycled materials. This Dune-inspired set continues that tradition, catering to gamers who appreciate both thematic immersion and unique design elements. So, whether you're a devoted Dune fan or simply intrigued by innovative gaming peripherals, keep an eye on Microsoft's future offerings – you never know what sci-fi surprise might be next.
