Microsoft Really Is Selling a Cozy Hoodie for Your Shivering Xbox Controller

Gift your favorite controller some swag this holiday season.

Each year, as colder temperatures sweep in and you bundle up on the couch near a fire, one object in your home watches wistfully from afar.

If you weren’t considering the comfort of your Xbox controller before, now’s your chance to make things right. Microsoft’s Xbox Gear Shop is offering an article of clothing intended for nothing but your small, inanimate gaming companion.

Xbox’s miniature controller hoodies are made of polyester and fit an Xbox Series X/S controller. They come in black or white, with «Xbox» written on the front and an Xbox logo on the back. There’s also what looks like a functional zipper for getting your controller into the tiny thing.

The gag gifts are currently listed for $25 apiece (roughly 21, AU$37). Before you run to the preorder page, note that that seems painfully close to the price of a human-sized hoodie.

October’s @Xbox Accessibility Showcase was a celebration of the Disability community and the people working to make gaming more accessible. 🎮

According to the Gear Shop website, the first round of casual controller outerwear has already sold out. The hoodies available now will apparently ship in mid-February. So you’ll need to postpone your white elephant gift exchange if you plan on bringing the itty bitty hoodie heat.

If you need something sooner, (or simply want a more useful gift for an Xbox in your life), here’s a guide to great accessories. And here are more gaming gifts for the holiday season.

The Gear Shop also is currently selling a hoodie and a parka for drink cans.

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers

Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?

The answer is already here — eSIM.

Why eSIM Is So Convenient

eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

No more:

* searching for local SIM cards at airports
* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel

Now your internet travels with you.

Internet in 150+ Countries

Modern eSIM solutions provide coverage in 150+ countries worldwide, helping tourists, freelancers, and business travelers stay connected almost anywhere on the planet.

Among the services offering these capabilities:

Verum E-SIM — https://esim.verum.im
World E-SIM — https://worldesim.me
USA E-SIM — https://usa.esim.verum.im
Euro E-SIM — https://euro.esim.verum.im
Canada E-SIM — https://canada.esim.verum.im
Balkan E-SIM — https://balkan.esim.verum.im
Ukraine E-SIM — https://ukraine.esim.verum.im
London E-SIM — https://london.esim.verum.im
E-SIM Africa — https://africa.esim.verum.im

All of these services work on the same principle — fast, borderless internet without roaming stress.

Why It Matters Most in Summer

During the holiday season, roaming networks get overloaded, and prices for mobile data abroad often become an unpleasant surprise for travelers.

eSIM solves this problem:

* transparent, fixed pricing
* activation in 1–2 minutes
* stable internet while traveling
* no physical SIM cards required

Final Thoughts

Travel should be about freedom — not hunting for Wi-Fi or worrying about phone bills.

eSIM is quickly becoming the new global standard for mobile connectivity: simple, fast, and borderless.

Verum E-SIM and its partner services are part of this shift, making global connectivity accessible to everyone, everywhere.
