The Xbox One’s new wireless controller will cost $60, according to an update from the Microsoft Store, making it $10 more expensive than its predecessor.
The chat headset’s price was also revealed for $24.99. The headset had, in the past, been bundled with some Xbox 360s.
The Xbox One — priced at $499.99 — only comes with one controller, so gamers will probably have to stock up. The console is due out sometime in November.
The Xbox One controller isn’t a huge departure from the Xbox 360 model; it features the same button scheme, but has some minor additions. The trigger buttons now give haptic feedback to players. The analog sticks have also been retooled to be more responsive, and the D-pad has also changed designs. The controller’s back has been redesigned, tucking the battery pack out of the way.
