Microsoft Corp. MSFT has unveiled a new Xbox controller inspired by none other than Deadpool himself.
The announcement, made via Xbox Wire, introduces the “Cheeky Controller,” a striking new addition to the Xbox lineup modeled after what Microsoft playfully describes as “Deadpool's much-discussed, perfectly rounded tush.”

“This controller channels Deadpool’s buns of steel in its firm (yet surprisingly comfortable) grip,” Microsoft revealed.
Limited Availability And Exclusive Offers
However, obtaining this eye-catching accessory won’t be straightforward. Microsoft has opted to make the Deadpool-inspired controller available exclusively through a sweepstakes format.
Fans worldwide, aged 18 and above, are invited to enter for a chance to win the Cheeky Controller by following Xbox on social media and retweeting the official sweepstakes announcement.
This approach mirrors previous successful campaigns where Microsoft has used exclusive merchandise to engage its community and reward dedicated fans.
The collaboration doesn’t stop at the controller. On July 22, the first 1,000 customers purchasing an Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core from the Microsoft Store will receive an exclusive Cable Guys Deadpool Controller Holder by EXG Pro.
Deadpool-Inspired Xbox Series X and More
Marvel enthusiasts have even more reasons to celebrate with the announcement of a custom Deadpool-inspired Xbox Series X bundle.
This special edition includes foam replicas of Deadpool's iconic katanas, Bea and Arthur, along with two matching Xbox Wireless Controllers.
Like the Cheeky Controller, this bundle will be available exclusively through a competition, underscoring Microsoft’s commitment to creating memorable fan experiences.
Teasing Marvel’s Upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine
In tandem with these gaming announcements, Marvel Studios has teased its upcoming film, Deadpool & Wolverine, with a sneak peek into the world of the Deadpool Corps. Meanwhile, the latest teaser trailer introduces characters like Lady Deadpool, Dogpool, and Cowboy Deadpool.
As fans await the premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine on July 26, anticipation is high for what promises to be a game-changing addition to the MCU.
