No limited edition controller for The Outer Worlds 2? No problem. Xbox has rolled out an official design theme for the game in Xbox Design Lab, letting fans build a custom gamepad that matches the look of the sequel while tailoring every detail to their taste. The theme works with both the standard Xbox Wireless Controller and the premium Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2.
There’s a single The Outer Worlds 2 pattern to choose from, so your personal flair comes from customizing the rest. You can select colors for the back, D-pad, ABXY buttons, thumbsticks, triggers, bumpers, grips, paddles, and even the View, Menu, and Share buttons. For an extra personal touch, you can add an engraved message on the controller—perfect for a gamertag, squad name, or inside joke.
Pricing starts at $98.97 for a custom The Outer Worlds 2 Xbox Wireless Controller. If you prefer the pro-level feel, the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 with the theme starts at $188.97 without the paddles pack. As with other Design Lab builds, your final price may vary depending on the options you choose.
This is a great middle ground for fans who want something official and stylized without waiting for a limited edition release. By using Xbox Design Lab, you get the game’s aesthetic plus the freedom to fine-tune the hardware’s look and feel to match your setup.
The Outer Worlds 2 launches on October 29, 2025 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, and it’s coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one. If you’re planning to dive into the new adventure, pairing it with a themed controller that’s uniquely yours is an easy win.
