The historical past of gaming is plagued by ridiculous equipment and add-ons. The Powerglove involves thoughts, as does the Xbox Kinect. But the newest gaming accent from Microsoft may simply be the cutest little factor I’ve ever seen precariously and superfluously caught onto a gaming gadget: a hoodie on your controller.

The Xbox Mini Controller Hoodie is precisely what it seems like, a tiny little jacket to maintain your controller heat. According to the Xbox retailer — yes, this is an official Microsoft product! — it’s made from 100% polyester and comes full with a teeny-tiny zipper and hood.

Functionally, I suppose you possibly can argue that the hood acts as an entry level for a charging cable. But who’re we kidding? It’s simply freakin’ cute. The style-conscious should purchase it in white or black to match or complement your controller coloration. I’m keen on the Xbox inexperienced lining on the black one, however the faux-camo sample on the white does have a sure attraction.

A tiny windbreaker on your controller prices simply $24.99, about half the value of the controller itself. And, earlier than you scoff, somebody’s positively shopping for these items as a result of the preliminary batch is already bought out. Place an order at present and it’ll be delivered in late February. Presumably they’ll work in your PlayStation or Switch controller too, however you understand how unreliable cross-brand sizing will be.
