Update - July 16, 2024: When I first reported on this deal, the lovely Velocity Green Xbox Wireless Controller was discounted to a new lowest-ever price a few days before the beginning of Amazon Prime Day. Now that the sales event is in full swing, it's still sale but for just a few dollars more. This remains an excellent deal that you should still consider, so I have updated the language of the article to reflect this.

If you're a fan of all things Team Green (that's what the cool kids call Xbox by the way), then this is a peripheral deal that you seriously won't want to miss. One of my favorite Xbox Wireless Controller variants has plummeted to a heavily discounted price for Amazon Prime Day, which should be your green light to make the purchase if you're looking to buy a new gamepad.

The Xbox Wireless Controller in its striking Velocity Green colorway is currently on sale for just $48 (was $58.99) at Amazon. That's a $10.99 saving and represents one of the lowest prices that we have seen for this particular model at the retailer in months. It's currently just a few dollars more than the far more boring Carbon Black and Robot White variants and, in my eyes, is easily worth the extra cash thanks to its crisp apple-green hue.

Fully compatible with Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PC, and even mobile, the Xbox Wireless Controller is a great choice if you're searching for a spare or replacement for your existing system or just want a general workhorse controller to use everywhere.

If you're after a new Xbox controller and want one that will stand out from the crowd, look no further than the Velocity Green Xbox Wireless Controller. Combining a bright green front with black accents and a clean white back panel, it's a really striking design. This $10.99 saving takes this version of the controller down to a much more affordable price - an excellent deal on the whole.

We consider the Xbox Wireless Controller to be one of the best Xbox controllers on the market right now, plus one of the best PC controllers. Thanks to its wide compatibility, it's even one of the best Steam Deck accessories out there. If you're after a versatile, high-quality controller, there are few options that are better than this. In our original Xbox Wireless Controller review, we awarded the peripheral four out of five stars and praised its premium feel and improved design compared to the previous model.

This is one of the best deals that I've seen over Amazon Prime Day and I'm expecting even more strong discounts to come.
