Xbox Reveals Special Edition Gears of War: E-Day Wireless Controller Design and Design Lab Elements

Gears of War: E-Day is slated to launch on October 6, 2026, and ahead of the game's launch, Microsoft has officially revealed the special edition Gears of War: E-Day wireless Xbox controller. The controller is available for pre-order at a price of $89.99—a $25 premium over the standard Xbox wireless controller.

As with other special edition Xbox controllers, the internals are identical to the standard wireless Xbox controller, but it features a complete visual overhaul based on the game's aesthetic and theme. The customized controller design features a translucent d-pad topper and X button as well as a red right joystick and translucent red triggers. The controller's grips also have a textured "leather-like" grip on the back and sides.
