Walmart Bucks Xbox Controller Price Rise

Author: Samuel Oct 29,2025

Earlier this year, Microsoft increased pricing across Xbox consoles, games, and accessories. However, shoppers who waited to purchase a new Xbox controller can now score deals at Walmart as the retailer competes with Prime Day 2025 through its own sales event.

Walmart currently offers some of the most affordable Xbox controllers available, including discounted Elite Series 2 and Core models. The standout deal is the vibrant Shock Blue variant priced at just $46.50, with additional savings on standard black, Robot White, and the special Pulse Cipher edition.

Amazon has countered Walmart's deals during Prime Day, offering the standard black Xbox controller for $49.99 - now the second-best deal after the Shock Blue model.

The Elite Series 2 Core Wireless controller currently sells for $124.90 (down from $139.99), while the premium Elite Series 2 and new DOOM: The Dark Ages edition are discounted to $155.99 and $74 respectively.

Shoppers can also save $10 on the Pulse Cipher model. The Elite Series 2 Core features customizable buttons, adjustable triggers, and three preset configurations, while the full Elite Series 2 package includes additional accessories and a charging case.

Collectors shouldn't miss the DOOM Limited Edition controller, which boasts a rare blood-spattered design alongside its substantial 37% discount.

All these controllers deliver excellent performance for Xbox consoles while being equally suitable for PC gaming setups.
