The long-rumored Starfield controller and headset have been confirmed to be real and will be released shortly after the Xbox Games Showcase on June 11. While many expected the duo to drop alongside Starfield's release date in September, it appears that is not the case. For those unfamiliar with the leaked images of the Starfield controller and headset, there was initially doubt surrounding their authenticity. However, as the sets began to appear at retailers, it became clear that they were indeed real. Despite remaining skepticism from some fans, it seems that confirmation of their existence is imminent.
According to a trusted leaker, Billbil-kun, who has a track record of accurately leaking information on Epic Games Store titles and PS Plus selections, fans can expect the release of the Starfield Wireless Controller and Headset on June 11, immediately following the showcase. While fans should approach this information with caution, Billbil-kun's reliability makes this leak more credible than most on the internet. However, it should be noted that it is still unclear whether the leaked images of the Starfield controller are accurate, although the headset shown in the leaked video matches the reported release. Regardless, fans can look forward to seeing the Starfield controller at the showcase and acquiring it shortly thereafter. It is important to note that the accuracy of the image below has not been confirmed at this time.
The decision to release a Starfield-themed controller and headset prior to the game's debut may seem unusual, but it's a testament to the level of excitement surrounding the upcoming title. Set to be one of the biggest releases of fall 2023, Starfield is the centerpiece of the Xbox Games Showcase, and a dedicated Starfield Direct will follow shortly after. Bethesda and Xbox are sparing no expense to ensure that fans receive all the details about the highly anticipated Sci-Fi RPG.
