    Microsoft creates a pizza-scented Xbox controller

    I’m fairly sure most Xbox controllers give off a bit of a sweaty pong after hours of gaming. Hence, being one of the reasons, Microsoft has now created one that’s supposed to smell like pizza from the get-go.

    The “world’s first-ever pizza-scented controller” is part of a marketing effort for the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem movie.

    Microsoft has designed custom TMNT Xbox controllers that have a scent diffuser strapped to the back in the shape of a slice of pizza.

    There are four variations in total, and thankfully, they’re just part of a sweepstakes giveaway, so we won’t be seeing or sniffing these controllers everywhere.

    If you want to try and win a pizza-scented controller, you’ll need to enter by retweeting a post on the Xbox Game Pass Twitter (or X) account. All the details for this Xbox giveaway are right here.

    Microsoft regularly creates custom variants of its Xbox consoles or controllers for giveaways. In the past, we’ve seen a custom Jordan-branded Xbox One X and an Xbox One that makes the Taco Bell “bong” noise.

    Sometimes you can even buy limited-edition custom-branded Xbox consoles. And if you’re disappointed you can’t buy these, you can always buy a candle to make your living room smell like Call of Duty, Persona 5, or even the wonderful odor of touching the grass.

    Xbox Wire post read:

    Satisfy your hunger for kicking butt with the world’s first ever pizza-scented controller. Designed to deliver the smell of the Turtles’ beloved meal to your game time, these exclusive Xbox Wireless Controllers come with a built-in scent diffuser shaped like a slice of delicious New York ‘za.

    The controller comes in four variations, each representing the signature colours, weapons, and personality of a Turtle brother: Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo.

    Xbox loves to get weird with its controllers, with other notable creations including one made out of actual Jade and a pair of fluffy ones celebrating Sonic the Hedgehog.

    Celebrating Earth Day in April, the company also announced an Xbox wireless controller “made partly” from reclaimed CDs, water jugs, and other Xbox controller parts.
