24.07.2023 - 15:43 / videogameschronicle.com
Microsoft has created the “world’s first ever pizza-scented controller” as part of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tie-in with Paramount Pictures.
The company will give away a limited number of the ooze green wireless controllers to coincide with next month’s cinema release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.
“Designed to deliver the smell of the Turtles’ beloved meal to your game time, these exclusive Xbox Wireless Controllers come with a built-in scent diffuser shaped like a slice of delicious New York ‘za,” said Xbox’s Josh Stein.
“The controller comes in four variations, each representing the signature colors, weapons, and personality of a Turtle brother: Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo.”
To be in with a chance of winning one, fans should follow Xbox Game Pass on Twitter and retweet this sweepstakes tweet (read the T&Cs here).
In related news, another new Xbox Series X/S wireless controller has seemingly leaked ahead of an official announcement.
According to dataminer billbil-kun, who has a long-running record of reliably leaking information, the new controller will be called Stormcloud Vapor and is currently scheduled to launch on August 8.
Microsoft will increase the price of the Xbox Series X console next month in most countries excluding the US, Japan, Chile, Brazil and Colombia.
Starting on August 1, Xbox Series X will cost £479.99 in the UK, €549.99 across most European markets, $649.99 in Canada and $799.99 in Australia.

Nobody did car chases like the late William Friedkin
Legendary director William Friedkin died Monday, leaving an accomplished legacy behind as one of the greatest filmmakers of his generation. Friedkin’s career veered through a variety of genres, and there may be no better three-film run for a director than his 1971 through 1977 stretch of The French Connection, The Exorcist, and Sorcerer. His final film, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial starring Kiefer Sutherland, will premiere at the Venice International Film Festival in September. Friedking was 87.
