Meet the XBOX Nano Controller

Today, we’re introducing the XBOX Nano Controller, designed to fit nearly every pocket and budget. Its compact design offers a great option for younger players, smaller hands, or anyone seeking something portable for play on the go. 

The XBOX Nano Controller, at a little over 5 inches in length and just 3.5 ounces, is our smallest controller, lighter and shorter than most modern smartphones. It includes all 18 standard gameplay inputs, delivering a familiar controller layout players already love. 

At $49.99, the XBOX Nano Controller gives players a new, approachable option for jumping in and sharing the fun. It’s an easier way to be ready for games the whole family can play together, like Minecraft Dungeons II, where up to four heroes can team up for local co-op in the living room or online. 

The pocketable design also makes it easy to slip into a bag or bring along for the day, giving you a convenient way to play whether you’re traveling, visiting friends and family, or simply taking games like Forza Horizon 6 beyond the living room. 

The XBOX Nano controller includes a rechargeable battery and a programmable Action Button that can be customized for features like screenshots, gameplay capture, and other frequently used shortcuts. With XBOX Wireless and Bluetooth support, it connects across a range of compatible devices with ease. 

Players can pre-order the XBOX Nano Controller beginning today for $49.99 USD. It will be available beginning in November in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Czechia, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Guatemala, Hong Kong SAR, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Trinidad & Tobago, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with additional markets to follow. 

Pricing and availability vary by country. Visit your local Microsoft Store or authorized retailer for more information. 

To make it easy to get started, we’re teaming up with Samsung, to introduce a special XBOX Nano Controller and 2-months of Game Pass Ultimate offer (for new members) in the US with the purchase of select Samsung TVs this holiday season. With the XBOX app available through the Gaming Hub built into Samsung TVs, players in select regions can use their monthly cloud playtime to play hundreds of XBOX Game Pass titles by simply connecting their controller.  

We’re also working with Meta on a holiday offer in the US that includes an XBOX Nano Controller and a 2-month Game Pass Ultimate subscription for new members with the purchase of a Meta Quest.
