Starfield controller
The limited edition Starfield controller is a stylish collectible packed with detail and quality of life improvements.
The Starfield controller is the perfect addition to any Starfield fan’s collection. The Xbox Starfield controller was officially announced during the July 2023 Starfield showcase, and quickly became a highly-sought after prize.
The controller was shown to feature a Constellation color scheme, and included in-game controls mapped to each button as part of the design. In addition, those lucky enough to grab a controller got to enjoy the transparent triggers, full side and back grips, and some hidden details in the battery pack.

Starfield controller review
We were lucky to get our hands on a Starfield controller prior to the launch of Starfield, and happily reviewed it as a truly exceptional Xbox accessory.
“Made for Explorers”, the Starfield controller has textured rubber grips which makes it very comfortable to hold and reduces slippage. The joysticks, bumpers, and triggers are similarly textured.
The design is clean and crisp, with the XYAB buttons and the balls of the joysticks having a glossy finish applied to them.
Quality-wise, the thumbsticks don’t drift, the transparent triggers and bronze rumble motors within are well-cushioned, and all of the usual ports and slots that make the controller compatible with any modern system and console are present.
Outside of the unique design, there isn’t any real difference between the Starfield controller and the standard Xbox equivalent. However, the Starfield controller brings a little of Starfield to life in your hands while you’re flying your ship, gunning down pirates, or romancing companions. So, if you’re looking for additional immersion, or a solid piece of Starfield merchandise, it may well be worth adding the Starfield controller to your setup before blasting off.
