Microsoft raised the prices of its consoles, games, and accessories back in May, but if you’ve been waiting for the chance to snag a new Xbox controller, your patience has been rewarded over at Walmart as it aims to rival Prime Day 2025 with its own sales event.
The retailer has some of the cheapest Xbox pads around, but they’re selling fast. There are options in multiple colors, too, with the cheapest being the rather eye-catching Shock Blue, which is just $46.50, while there are discounts to be had on the standard black, Robot White, and special edition Pulse Cipher option, too.
You can even save on the Elite Series 2 Core Wireless controller, which will set you back $124.90 instead of $139.99, the full-fat Elite Series 2, and the recently released DOOM: The Dark Ages pad.
As we mentioned above, the cheapest option is the Shock Blue, but you can save over $5 on the standard Black version and almost $10 on the Robot White colorway.
The Pulse Cipher has a discount of $10, too, while the Elite Series 2 Core adds extra buttons, adjustable triggers, and the option to store three presets. The Elite Series 2 (non-Core) adds additional accessories and a carry case with a charging cradle inside.
Still, collectors will want the DOOM Limited Edition option. Not only is it heavily discounted here (37% off), but there aren’t many controllers with blood-spatter on them.
As a reminder, all of these controllers will work great with your Xbox, but they’re ideal for PC gamers too. And, with Walmart's own sales hitting tomorrow for all customers, there's every chance there are fresh discounts coming both there, and at Amazon very soon.
