Cheap Xbox controller deals are back after the recent stock shortage. There are small discounts available today so we’ve gathered up exactly where to buy a new gamepad for the best price today that will work on your Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One and PC. Patience could be rewarded, though, as bigger savings are likely on the way in this year’s Black Friday Xbox controller deals.
Consoles only ship with one Xbox controller these days, which can be frustrating if you like to have a spare charged up, keep one ready for multiplayer use, or pair one with a PC in a different room. That often means a second controller is one of the first accessories bought after a new console, but don’t let the high price put you off.

Take a look at our hub that tracks where to buy the Xbox Series X throughout the year, including all the latest bundles and Xbox Black Friday deals from the major retailers now console stock has stabilised. And if you want something to play with your new controller, why not browse all the latest Xbox game deals or see what Xbox Game Pass deals are available today for Microsoft’s gaming subscription service?

Xbox Elite Wireless controller deals

Cheap Xbox controller alternatives
If you don’t want to spend the $40-$50 / £40 – £50 on an official Xbox controller, you can find cheaper third party options on the market. You’re not getting the full sensitivity of the newer gamepads here, and you may be losing a little of that super fast connection in the Core models as well, but if you just need a way to push some buttons we’d recommend checking out PowerA and PDP’s options as well.
However, if you’re going for something a little more technical, the Razer Wolverine controller offers greater customization than the standard Xbox controller for a slightly higher price as well.
