"Microsoft cut the price of its 2025 Xbox wireless controller on Amazon to $38, which is the lowest price ever for hardware that just came out. That's a $26 discount off the $64 list price, and here's the best part: it's a lot cheaper than Sony's DualSense (currently selling for $54, down from $74). Yes, these controllers were made for different consoles, but if you play games on your PC or on more than one device, this price makes the Xbox controller the clear choice."
"With two AA batteries, the battery life can last up to 40 hours so you can play for weeks without needing to change them. That's a lot better than controllers with built-in rechargeable batteries that wear out over time and make you play while connected to a cable. You have to carry extra batteries, but honestly, it only takes five seconds to change AAs instead of waiting hours for a charge and if you don't like disposable batteries, you can also get rechargeable AA packs."
The 2025 Xbox wireless controller is available on Amazon for $38, a $26 reduction from its $64 list price, undercutting the DualSense. Amazon shipping estimates indicate delivery after Christmas, making this better for personal purchase than last-minute gifts. The controller features reshaped geometry and sculpted surfaces to improve grip and comfort during long sessions. A hybrid D-pad offers both button-like accuracy and disc-style smoothness. Triggers, bumpers, and the back case include textured grips to reduce slippage. The controller runs on two AA batteries for up to 40 hours, and it includes an easy-to-find Share button on the face.
