Yorkshire Tea has brewed up the most beautiful Xbox controller ever made

In collaboration with “controller designer extraordinaire” POPeART, Yorkshire Tea — the finest tea producer in all the land — has created a limited edition Xbox Series X|S controller that’s on sale now. The custom Xbox controller, which features a delightful design made to look like a box of Yorkshire Tea, features a “soft-touch finish” and a custom controller button set. It also comes with a special presentation box and a certificate of authenticity. Outside of those differences, it’s your standard Xbox Series X|S controller with all the usual triggers, bumpers, and features. “So, how much is the finest of all Xbox controllers going to set me back?” I hear you cry. Well, Yorkshire Tea is selling the controller for the princely sum of £150 — you’d think for that price they’d chuck in a 200-bag box of Yorkshire Gold! A standard Xbox controller retails for around £55 in the UK, so the markup is pretty high, but you are getting a brewtiful piece of art afterall.”Picture the scene,” a blurb on the Yorkshire Tea website reads. “You’re facing down a boss with three heads and a hammer as big as a truck, armed with nothing but a rusty sword you looted from a guard. Gulping, you look down at the controller in your hands, wondering if victory is even possible. And you see it – the reassuring branding of your favourite tea. ‘Yes,’ you say to yourself. ‘I can do this.'”Yorkshire Tea hasn’t said how many of these custom Xbox controllers have been made, but if you do want one, it’s probably worth snagging one as soon as possible. Yorkshire Tea has also made a PS5 Dualsense controller that’s on sale for the same price if you want to complete the collection.
