Xbox announces limited edition Forza Horizon 6 controller and wireless gaming headset

It's one of the most anticipated game releases of the year, and with Xbox Game Studios' Forza Horizon 6 on track for release in a matter of weeks, May 19, Xbox is celebrating the launch of the open-world racer's journey to Japan with some limited-edition gear. Sporting vibrant, colorful designs adorned with bright blues, pinks, and yellows, the line-up includes a wireless controller, wireless gaming headset, and a new charging dock created in collaboration with 8BitDo.

At this point, the official Xbox controller doesn't really need an introduction, as it's the go-to pad for PC and Xbox gamers alike. The Xbox Wireless Controller - Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition features rubberized grips on the underside for improved, well, grip. Elsewhere, it's the same controller with the official Xbox layout, wireless and Bluetooth functionality, and two AA batteries delivering its power. Priced at $89.99, pre-orders are now open via the official Xbox store.

And with that, what you're getting here for the most part is the funky design that includes a translucent top case, triggers, "bold pink thumbsticks," and the Horizon Festival logo on the back. Likewise, the Xbox Wireless Headset - Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition is Microsoft's official wireless Xbox headset, given a visual makeover with a big "Horizon" graphic stretching across the headband.

Not limited to consoles and PC, the headset also includes Bluetooth support for connecting to mobile devices or playing Forza Horizon 6 on a handheld like the ROG Xbox Ally or Steam Deck. Priced at $134.99, pre-orders are now open via the official Xbox store.

Separate from these two official tie-ins, the 8BitDo Charging Dock for Xbox Wireless Controllers - Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition sees the popular peripheral maker bring the same visual style to its wireless charger-and-battery-pack combo for those who've had enough of swapping out AA batteries. Priced at $34.99, pre-orders are now open, with the Amazon listing confirming a June 8 release.
