You know what your Xbox controllers really need? Fur. Nothing gets me in the gaming mood like a fluffy peripheral that cushions my palms, soaking up the mountain dew and Dorito crumbs while I game.
Thankfully, Sega and Microsoft have us covered with the new Sonic-themed Xbox controllers. You can grip Knuckles' tender fur or rub your hands through Sonic's spikes, all while playing some Elden Ring. Or Sonic. Sonic might fit these better.
The two controllers are part of a Sonic 2 giveaway for the new film. They come with a customised Xbox that is, unfortunately, not furry. It's just got the poster plastered on the front. But the controllers are furry, so you can pet 'em while you game. Give that joystick a stroke or two.
Go fast! But not too fast. That's the tagline – or at least, half of it. The giveaway is live right now on the official Xbox website if you want a chance to win these two beauties, but if you do, try to be careful. They'll be a pain to clean. Have you ever tried to get coffee out of a carpet? Imagine that with a controller.
But if you're not after furry controllers (who isn't?), there's always the Sonic the Hedgehog Minecraft DLC which adds 24 skins and the Labyrinth Zone. All a part of Sega and Microsoft's collaboration for Sonic 2 which releases on April 1.
To enter the competition, you just need to retweet the official Xbox sweepstakes tweet and use the hashtag #XboxSonic2Sweepstakes. Maybe post something about how unsettling these two fuzzy controllers are.
"Together over the past 20 years, Xbox and Sonic have been a storied part of how gaming has evolved into one of the most popular form of entertainment," the blog post states. "A beloved and nostalgic character across generations and among families."
