Xbox unveils new Canadian flag-esque red-and-white controller

Xbox Wireless Controller: Canada Edition

Xbox Pulse Red controller

Microsoft has revealed a new Xbox wireless ‘Pulse Red’ controller that will release in Canada on February 9th.

Priced at $74.99 CAD, the controller features an all-red topcase and white backcase which, when paired together, give the controller a decidedly Canadian look.

On top of that, the ‘Pulse Red’ gamepad is part of Microsoft’s new line of Xbox controllers that was introduced with the Xbox Series X and S last holiday. This means that the Pulse Red controller features several improvements over the original Xbox One controller, including a dedicated ‘Share’ button, updated D-pad and textured grips on the handles and triggers.

Like the other new Xbox wireless controllers, the Pulse Red gamepad is compatible with Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Windows 10 PCs and Android.

In a blog post, Xbox notes that the Pulse Red controller includes a 14-day trial to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in “select markets.” The company has confirmed to MobileSyrup that Canada is one of these markets.
