A mysterious new Xbox controller appeared early this morning on Amazon, confirmed as the red Pulse Cipher, a special edition of the Cipher series with a unique transparent design, promising to captivate gamers who appreciate retro style. The controller is priced at $74.99 (approximately 1.89 million VND) and is set to officially release on February 4, 2025.
Details about this new controller were revealed thanks to Wario's keen observation on X (Twitter). Xbox then confirmed it as the red Pulse Cipher, which is currently available for pre-order exclusively on their website. This controller is launching just in time for Valentine's Day, featuring a dominant red color and transparent design, perfectly blending modern and nostalgic styles.
The red Pulse Cipher controller joins the Cipher family, which already includes the Blue and Ghost versions.
Microsoft typically unveils special editions around this time of year, much like last year's Dream Vapor and the Stellar Shift from the year before. This shows Microsoft's ongoing commitment to diversifying controller designs, offering more choices for users.

Before the Pulse Cipher name was officially confirmed, there were many speculations about the new controller. Many, including the author, had expected another Cipher version or even an entirely new controller design, possibly inspired by the upcoming game Avowed. However, it seems Xbox has no plans to release any game-themed controllers besides Starfield.
While it's not the legendary Sebile controller that many hoped for, the Pulse Cipher controller is still a solid option, especially for those who love retro designs. Not only does it offer a fresh new look, but it also promises an excellent gaming experience. And while it might be easier to get an Xbox controller than an Xbox Series X, the Pulse Cipher controller is sure to be a sought-after accessory.
The Pulse Cipher controller is now available for pre-order on Microsoft's website, with an official release date set for February 4. Don't miss out on this new controller if you enjoy a unique gaming experience!
