With Deadpool and Wolverine now in theaters following their release on July 26, 2024, fans are still buzzing about the film’s latest collectible: the Deadpool Xbox controller. This unique piece of gaming memorabilia has captured attention not just for its distinctive design but also for its exclusivity. Here’s everything you need to know about how to get your hands on one of these controllers and whether you can buy it outright.
The Deadpool Xbox controller stands out with its eye-catching design, embracing the signature red and black color scheme of the iconic anti-hero.
