Overview
- Microsoft introduced two designs tied to The SpongeBob Movie: a standard Xbox Wireless Controller and an Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2.
- Both editions are available now for a limited time at the Microsoft Store, with the same designs offered in Xbox Design Lab for personalization and upgrades.
- The look features SpongeBob’s smile on the top case and side caps, bright yellow thumbsticks, an orange D-pad, and metallic blue triggers.
- The Elite Series 2 version retains adjustable-tension thumbsticks, a wrap-around rubberized grip, shorter hair trigger lock, optional back paddles, and extensive remapping in the Xbox Accessories app.
- GameSpot described the styling as “cursed,” noting details like the Xbox button and X face buttons as pupils and pants-like Elite handles, and placed the drop alongside tie-ins such as Titans of the Tide preorders ($40 standard, $90 Ghostly Tides) and an Arcade1Up claw machine at about $600.
