Microsoft has announced a special Deadpool Xbox Controller which captures the magic of the anti-hero and his fine ass. The collaboration between Microsoft and Marvel is in anticipation of the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie set to launch on 26 July.
Sadly, like most of the cool custom consoles and accessories Microsoft releases, this product cannot be purchased. Instead, the brand is holding a sweepstakes where you can stand a chance of winning it. The sweepstakes include a custom Xbox Series X console also designed in Deadpool fashion alongside two of these butt-cheek Xbox controllers.
The Xbox controller has officially been named the “Cheeky Controller” and channels Deadpool’s “Buns of Steel”. The news post says the controller has a surprisingly comfortable grip considering your fingers will be gripping Deadpool’s buttocks. It is also coated in the anti-hero’s red suit with matching material. There are also some added straps around the grips.
Microsoft is giving this console bundle away to one lucky gamer and everyone in a supported region can enter the competition. This includes South Africans. So head on over to the post here and enter.
If you’re living in North America and Canada, the company is also offering an incentive to gamers who purchase the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core. The first 1,000 purchases will receive an exclusive Cable Guys Deadpool Controller Holder by EXG Pro.
