PowerA launches new officially licensed Xbox controller just in time for Starfield

gamesradar.com:

The list of officially licensed Xbox Series X/S controllers continues to grow as PowerA has announced today that it's launching an update to its Spectra Infinity gamepad. The new "Advantage Wired Controller for Xbox Series X/S with Lumectra" is available worldwide today.

The good news is, this is the cheapest Xbox controller to release since the GameSir G7 SE which joined the fold earlier in the year. The Advantage Controller will retail for only $44.99 in the US, and while we don't have a confirmed UK price, we'd be surprised to see it over the £50 mark. That puts it in the same price range as the stock gamepad you get out of the box, but the upside here is that it joins the pantheon of Xbox Series X controllers that have two back buttons.

The original PowerA Spectra Infinity has been available for about two years now, and works as one of the best PC controllers too, especially if you're looking for something on the budget end of the price scale. This new Advantage controller will also work on PC, so no matter how you're planning to play Starfield, this controller could come in handy.

With Microsoft's biggest game release of the year happening tomorrow, a day after the launch of this gamepad, it's hard to ignore it as a potential contender if you want more buttons at your disposal. If you've struggled to get your hands on one of the official Starfield Xbox controllers, even when it took its first discount, the PowerA outing might be exactly what you need. That RGB lighting it's wrapped in will look right at home in the hands of any space explorer.

Speaking of RGB lighting, the launch of this controller coincides with PowerA's first real foray into the ambient lighting market, as it's also launching its new Lumectra RGB
