Summary
Thrustmaster has recently announced pre-orders for a new officially licensedElden Ring: Shadow of the ErdtreeXboxcontroller. This newElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtreegamepad is compatible with Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Windows, and comes with several advanced functionalities, but also a very high price: $200.
Elden Ring’s expansion has just been released, and it’s already making history. Right now,Shadow of the Erdtreeis the highest-rated video game DLCever made, with a score of 94 on OpenCritic. Critics have been praising the DLC’s in-depth exploration, huge size, and high difficulty, and it seems like a great pick for gamers who can’t get enough of FromSoftware’s main game.
To commemorate the launch of theElden RingDLC,Thrustmaster decided to unveilits new “Thrustmaster eSwap X2 Official ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree Modular Controller Gamepad.” ThisXbox controlleris very expensive with its $200 price tag, but it looks really good withElden Ring-inspired details, and it has several unique features, like the other Thrustmaster eSwap controllers. For instance, the gamepad can easily be tailored to a gamer’s experience, as it uses a “hot-swap technology” that allows players to change modules, determining where they want the buttons to be.
Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree Xbox Controller Features
This Thrustmaster Xbox gamepad also has two reinforced S5 NXG mini-stick modules, which are very precise, four additional buttons on the back that can be remapped, and physical latches for the LT/RT triggers. Another interesting feature is that the controller’s response is around 64% quicker than usual, ideal due to theElden RingDLC’s high difficulty level, which requires precision and fast response. The only downside of the gamepad is that it’s not wireless like normal Xbox controllers. Overall, this is an expensive joystick that can be perfect for people who intend to playElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtreefor a while. However, they will have to hold on to playing the DLC if they want to do it with the controller, as pre-orders are available, but the product will only be available in August.
Xbox certainly has no shortage of custom controllers. Earlier this month, Hyperkin announced anew Xbox Series X/S gamepad called DuchesS, which will also be available in August. This joystick will cost $50 and is inspired by the S Model gamepad for the original Xbox, and seems like a perfect pick for old-school gamers who miss this classic joystick.
