By The cost has surged significantly in certain nations
The announcement made yesterday regarding two new Xbox controllers for The Witcher 3 (marking the franchise’s 10th anniversary) turned out to be exceptionally popular, resulting in sellouts across various regions.
The issue lies in their availability exclusively at the Microsoft Store, which means that once they are sold out there, there is no official method to purchase them. Consequently, we’re witnessing scalpers demanding significantly higher prices on platforms like eBay.
Here’s an example shared on the Xbox Reddit a few hours back:
There are alternative listings that are more reasonable for these Witcher 3 controllers, but they ultimately seem nonsensical to us – shelling out double (or more) the cost appears excessive just to acquire one!
It’s uncertain when the Microsoft Store might begin restocking them as they could be released in batches. If you’re eager to grab one, it’s advisable to check regularly.
