Turtle Beach has announced that its Red, Nebula, and Pixel Green REACT-R Xbox Controller colorways are available today from www.turtlebeach.com and participating retailers across Asia, and are available for pre-order in the U.S., UK, and Europe ahead of their September 22, 2023, release in the UK and Europe and on October 1, 2023, in the U.S. for $39.99/€34.99/£29.99 MSRP. Previously available only in black and white/purple colors, these wired alternatives to Microsoft’s first-party controllers feature two mappable quick-action buttons on the back, giving them some of the functionality that can be found in the Elite Wireless Controllers, as well as quick-access controls.
