Microsoft has been seeing shortages for its official Xbox controllers, the company has confirmed to VGC.
"We know it may be hard finding Xbox Wireless Controllers right now due to supply disruptions," a spokesperson told the site. "We're working as fast as possible with our manufacturing and retail partners to improve this. Please check with your local retailer for availability."
