Xbox is maybe in a rebuild mode, to borrow professional sports franchise terms. While we’re not necessarily tearing down everything related to the company, a lot needs to be redirected. One element the Microsoft gaming wing has nailed down, however, is accessories and tech. The gorgeous array of controllers you can buy for Xbox and PC is great for anyone’s personal style, but Microsoft really outdid itself with the release of new gaming gear for Forza Horizon 6. Here’s a look at the latest controller and headset hitting shelves ahead of the new game.

The new “Xbox Wireless Controller – Limited Edition Forza Horizon 6” is potentially my favorite custom controller from Microsoft to date. The accessory features a cyan-blue top case with a metallic gradient, accentuated by volt green, hot pink, and silver. The pops of color are further emphasized by a silver metallic DPad and two-tone rubberized diamond grips. According to Xbox, the core design inspiration emerged from the Touge roads of Japan. Touge – winding, narrow roads found across Japanese mountainsides – are hailed as the birthplace for drifting, so a top-down view of these exhilarating routes was the perfect homage to Japanese street racing.

Like other modern Xbox controllers, it has a headphone jack built into the controller. You’ll also get up to 40 hours of playtime between charges, which can be done with the matching “8BitDo Charging Dock for Xbox Wireless Controllers – Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition.” Combine these with the headset, and you’re really going to be ready for the streets of Japan come release.

Speaking of, the “Xbox Wireless Headset – Limited Edition Forza Horizon 6” continues that overarching theme of the Horizon Festival, decorated with flashy transparent cyan, volt green, and hot pink. Fans of the Forza series will notice the touches that make this a great accessory, including a hot pink logo evoking pit crew aesthetics and racetrack-inspired graphics on the inside of the ear cups. Certain actions, such as turning the headset on and off, pairing devices, muting/unmuting your mic, and more, will include custom sound effects, mixing a Japanese V8 engine with the Forza Horizon 6 UI.

The “Xbox Wireless Controller and Xbox Wireless Headset – Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition” are available for preorder at $89.99 and $134.99 USD, respectively. You can preorder the collection today by visiting Xbox.com or your local retailer, including Microsoft Store, for more information.
