Microsoft continues to pump out the special edition Xbox controllers with wild abandon, and its latest offering is a new addition to its now three-strong Vapor line-up, arriving in the form of the swirly green and slightly darker green Nocturnal Vapor controller.
Nocturnal Vapor, as well as sounding like a euphemism for a fart, is said to be inspired by nature at night. “Every colour swirl is an expression of that expansive landscape,” says Microsoft of the new controller over in its announcement post
As with the company’s previous Vapor range controllers – Stormcloud Vapor and Dream Vapor being the other two – Nocturnal Vapor features a “dynamic smoky design”, here blending dark and light green. “Feel the allure of the rubberised, green diamond-pattern grips on the back case,” continues the official blurb, “elevating your experience with a touch of sophistication.”
It promises “up to” 40 hours of battery life and – like its many, many special edition controller bedfellows – is compatible with a range of devices, including Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android. And if its tie-dye-meets-military-green aesthetic takes your fancy, the Nocturnal Vapor Special Edition controller is available to pre-order now.
It costs £64.99/$69.99 USD from the Microsoft Store (it’ll also be available from “local retailers”) and launches next Tuesday, 9th April.
