Xbox has created the ‘world’s first ever pizza-scented controller’

Microsoft has created the “world’s first ever pizza-scented controller” as part of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tie-in with Paramount Pictures.

The company will give away a limited number of the ooze green wireless controllers to coincide with next month’s cinema release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.

“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,” said Xbox’s Josh Stein.

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

To be in with a chance of winning one, fans should follow Xbox Game Pass on Twitter and retweet this sweepstakes tweet (read the T&Cs here).

In related news, another new Xbox Series X/S wireless controller has seemingly leaked ahead of an official announcement.

According to dataminer billbil-kun, who has a long-running record of reliably leaking information, the new controller will be called Stormcloud Vapor and is currently scheduled to launch on August 8.
