Xbox announced that a « Remix Special Edition » controller, whose materials are one-third « regrind and reclaimed » plastics, would go on sale April 18 for $84.99.
There’s a new, two-tone green Xbox Wireless Controller launching in time for Earth Day, which is April 22. Microsoft is touting the gamepad’s made-from-recycled-plastics heritage, but mostly, the thing looks cool and it’s a new color for the console-and-PC compatible peripheral.
Tuesday’s announcement of the Remix Special Edition controller said it was made from “recovered plastics with one-third of it made from regrind and reclaimed materials.”
For those not hip to materials science jargon, “regrind” means parts from old Xbox One generation controllers were used in the making of the new model.
