Renowned leaker billbil-kun has confirmed that Starfield-themed Xbox accessories, including a wireless Xbox controller and a headset (official name Ogden and Orren respectively), will be released on June 11th, 2023, during the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase/Starfield Direct. The news of these accessories initially spread like wildfire after detailed pictures of an Xbox controller themed around Starfield originating from China made their way onto Imgur.
Furthermore, during an episode of the Xbox Era Podcast, K. Asante revealed in the chat that a wireless headset, following the same theme as the leaked Starfield Xbox Controller, is also in the works. Spanish leaker @eXtas1stv on Twitter recently released an exclusive video showcasing the rumored Starfield-themed Xbox wireless headset.
Billbil_kun has also managed to confirm the prices of these accessories in the US, UK, and Europe.
- Xbox Wireless Controller – Starfield Limited Edition: €74.99 / $79.99 / £69.99
- Xbox Wireless Headset – Starfield Limited Edition: €124.99 / $124.99 / £114.99
Interestingly, Microsoft has made the decision to release these Starfield Xbox accessories months ahead of the official release of the game itself, which is slated for September 6th, 2023. Despite the anticipation for the Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct being at an all-time high, these leaks and rumors have only intensified the excitement surrounding the event.
It has been announced that the Xbox Games Showcase, including the Starfield Direct, will have a total runtime of approximately two hours. The stream will be presented in stunning 4K resolution at 60 FPS, with multi-language support on YouTube. Aron Greenberg, Microsoft’s VP of Xbox Games Marketing, has also disclosed that the showcase will primarily feature in-game or in-engine gameplay footage of the upcoming Xbox first-party games, eschewing CG trailers.
