The official Xbox Core wireless controller has dropped to its lowest price in months at Amazon, with a $44.99 sales cost offering up a $15 discount over the $59.99 MSRP. That's the best price we've seen on the classic gamepad since April - we generally only ever see $10 off this device. 

That's not a record low - such a feat belongs to a Black Friday sale way back in 2020. Still even that price was only $5 cheaper, and hasn't been spotted in two years. We may well see a return to this figure in this year's sales, but we don't expect a drastic reduction on top. We'd recommend grabbing this $44.99 price and enjoying a few extra months with one of the best Xbox Series X controllers

If you're not too fussed about the standard Robot White, you'll also find some nice discounts on other colorways. The Electric Volt, Pulse Red, and Shock Blue Xbox Core wireless controllers are between $10 and $17 off right now, but none come below the classic white due to their higher MSRPs.
