In a match made in Marvel heaven, Xbox has announced a playful partnership with Marvel Entertainment’s wise-cracking anti-hero, Deadpool, just in time for the release of the new movie “Deadpool & Wolverine” on July 26. This collaboration has birthed the “Cheeky Controller,” an all-new wireless device modeled after Deadpool’s most iconic, and yes, cheekiest asset.
Unveiled on Xbox Wire, the Cheeky Controller is designed to capture the essence of Deadpool’s “much-discussed, perfectly rounded tush,” offering a firm yet surprisingly comfortable grip. Microsoft’s press release touts the controller as channeling “Deadpool’s buns of steel,” making it a must-have for fans of both Xbox and the Merc with a Mouth.
But, as with many coveted collectibles, there’s a catch. This unique controller is only available to competition winners. Fans aged 18 and over can enter the sweepstakes by following Xbox on X (formerly Twitter) and retweeting the official contest announcement.
Moreover, the first 1,000 fans who purchase an Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core from the Microsoft Store on July 22 will receive an exclusive Cable Guys Deadpool Controller Holder by EXG Pro. This quirky accessory promises to “enhance” any gaming setup with Deadpool’s signature style.
For those seeking even more Deadpool-themed swag, there’s a custom Deadpool-inspired Xbox Series X and stand up for grabs. This set features foam replicas of Deadpool’s katanas, Bea and Arthur, along with two Xbox Wireless Controllers. Like the Cheeky Controller, this exclusive prize is only available through a competition.
As for the highly anticipated “Deadpool & Wolverine” film, the latest teaser trailer has fans buzzing with excitement. It offers a sneak peek at Lady Deadpool and other members of the Deadpool Corps, including Dogpool and Cowboy Deadpool, who are making their big-screen debuts. Marvel has yet to reveal who will play Lady Deadpool, adding to the anticipation.
Stay tuned for more surprises when “Deadpool & Wolverine” hits theaters on July 26. In the meantime, Xbox fans can try their luck at winning the cheekiest controller ever made.
