Rumor: Starfield Is Getting A Special Edition Controller And Headset

We now have reason to believe that Starfield will have special merchandise for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.

As reported by Insider Gaming, there will be a Starfield controller and a Starfield headset.

The controller leaked days earlier, and that was confirmed by K. Asante of the XboxEra podcast. At the same time, K. Asante revealed that a headset would be arriving as well.

Microsoft has been generous when it comes to themed Xbox controllers. Interestingly enough, they seem to be quite proud of their controllers, possibly even more than their consoles. Gamers have also been huge fans of the controllers, so much so that Xbox layout controllers are made for non-Xbox platforms, including not just PlayStation and Nintendo’s platforms, but every other company that wanted in on the market, including Ouya, Amazon Luna, etc.

Microsoft even provided a service called Xbox Design Lab, where gamers could order their own custom color build for their own Xbox controller.

So there’s no surprise that Microsoft is making a Starfield controller here.

Subsequently, a Starfield­ themed headset doesn’t quite make sense, but fans might still want it. In this case, players won’t be able to make use of it as Bethesda has clarified that there won’t be any online co-operative or competitive gameplay component to Starfield. Unless this headset is a hint that Bethesda has been hiding for some time down the line, gamers will just be getting a pretty headset. But maybe they can use it to chat with friends while playing Starfield.

The big question would be if Microsoft will offer a Starfield themed Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S. It doesn’t seem like one is forthcoming this time. We had reported on rumors that there would be a special edition
