Xbox Announces Limited Edition Squid Game Controllers and NYC Tournament Event
Xbox is collaborating with Netflix to release special gaming accessories and events for Squid Game Season 2. SCUF Gaming has created two themed controllers for fans: a Pink Guard Instinct Pro Controller based on the guards’ uniforms, available now through Best Buy Drops in the US and ScufGaming.com, and a Game Over controller inspired by the player tracksuits, with numbers from 1 to 456.
On December 16, 2024, at 9 am ET, Xbox will host a tournament at Squid Game: The Experience in New York City. Participants will compete in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Nuketown matches, with their choice of platform – console, PC, or handheld. The tournament format is straightforward: players have five minutes in a free-for-all match to score the most eliminations and win a Game Over controller.
The tournament’s grand prize includes a six-foot Young-hee gaming cabinet, modeled after the Red Light, Green Light doll from the series. This prize package contains both special controllers, a Lenovo Legion Slim 5 Gen 8, an Xbox Series X with controller, a ROG Ally X, and a 12-month Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
For those unable to attend the New York event, Xbox offers two alternatives: watch the Xbox Twitch livestream on December 16 for a chance to win a Game Over controller, or participate in the global sweepstakes by following Xbox on X and retweeting their contest post to potentially win the Young-hee cabinet.
Additionally, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will feature Squid Game content in an upcoming update.
