In a cheeky new promotion, Xbox is giving fans a chance to win a one-of-a-kind Deadpool-themed wireless controller that features the anti-hero’s perfectly round butt on the back.
The limited edition controller (sponsored by Microsoft) is being offered as part of a sweepstakes to hype up the upcoming release of the Deadpool & Wolverine movie on July 26th.
While the Xbox Cheeky Controller is not for sale, fans still have an opportunity to snag some exclusive Deadpool merchandise. On July 22, the first 1,000 customers who purchase an Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 from the Microsoft Store will receive a complimentary Deadpool Controller Holder.
How to enter the giveaway
To get your hands on (and maybe gently squeeze) this unique Xbox controller, you’ll need to:
Follow Xbox on X (formerly known as Twitter) and repost Xbox’s official giveaway post:

Moreover, you need to be at least 18 years old, which aligns with the target audience for Deadpool films. Lastly, to be eligible, you must legally reside in a country or region where Xbox consoles are officially supported.
The sweepstakes is open from July 17th until August 11th, 2024, giving fans a few weeks to enter for a chance to win.
In addition to the blush-worthy controller, the lucky winner (yes, there’s just one, unfortunately) will also receive the following as part of the Grand Prize:
A custom Deadpool and Wolverine-themed Xbox Series X console with an Approximate Retail Value (ARV) of $440.00, two custom Deadpool and Wolverine-themed Xbox Wireless Controllers with a combined ARV of $319.98, and a custom Deadpool-themed stand for the Xbox Series X console, also valued at $319.98.
Part of an ongoing tradition
This isn’t the first time Xbox has released movie-themed, extremely limited edition controllers. In the past, there was a competition to win a Sonic the Hedgehog-themed Xbox Series S console, which included two furry controllers, an ode to the iconic blue hedgehog, and Knuckles the Echidna.
More recently, Xbox collaborated with Paramount Pictures to celebrate the release of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” by giving away a limited number of pizza-scented Xbox Wireless Controllers, each representing one of the four Turtle brothers.
Another notable sweepstakes was for a limited-edition, Mandalorian-themed Xbox Series S & X bundle, featuring a custom Grogu Xbox Controller and a themed hoodie, in partnership with Lucasfilm to commemorate the season 3 release of The Mandalorian.
Like those previous editions, the Deadpool controller won’t be sold in stores. With only one available, winning the sweepstakes is the only way to acquire it.
While the odds may be slim, the opportunity to own such a unique (and anatomically accurate) piece of Deadpool memorabilia is surely worth a retweet—err, repost—for any die-hard fan. Just remember, you must be of legal age to enter. Sorry, youngins!
