Xbox Nano Controller
The Xbox Nano Controller comes with a compact design that offers a great option for younger players, smaller hands, or anyone seeking something portable for play on the go.
The controller, at a little over 5 inches in length and just 3.5 ounces, is Xbox’s smallest controller, lighter and shorter than most modern smartphones. It includes all 18 standard gameplay inputs, delivering a familiar controller layout players already love.
The pocketable design also makes it easy to slip into a bag or bring along for the day, giving players a convenient way to play whether they are travelling, visiting friends and family, or simply taking games like Forza Horizon 6 beyond the living room.
The device includes a rechargeable battery and a programmable Action Button that can be customised for features like screenshots, gameplay capture, and other frequently used shortcuts. With Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth support, it connects across a range of compatible devices with ease.
Availability
Players can pre-order the Xbox Nano Controller for $49.99 USD. It will be available beginning in November in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Czechia, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Guatemala, Hong Kong SAR, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Trinidad & Tobago, the UK, and the US, with additional markets to follow.
Apart from this, Xbox has teamed up with Samsung to introduce a special Xbox Nano Controller and 2-months of Game Pass Ultimate offer (for new members) in the US with the purchase of select Samsung TVs this holiday season. With the Xbox app available through the Gaming Hub built into Samsung TVs, players in select regions can use their monthly cloud playtime to play hundreds of Xbox Game Pass titles by simply connecting their controller.
Xbox is also working with Meta on a holiday offer in the US that includes an Xbox Nano Controller and a 2-month Game Pass Ultimate subscription for new members with the purchase of a Meta Quest.
