- New Palworld-themed Xbox controllers are now available for purchase - Elite Series 2 and Standard - inspired by Lamball and Depresso.
- An Xbox Palworld sweepstakes contest offers a chance to win themed Xbox Series S, controllers, and Game Pass Ultimate code.
Fans can now purchase two new Palworld-inspired controllers through the Xbox Design Lab, with one being a standard controller and the other being an Elite Series 2 controller. This is just the latest offering of Palworld-themed hardware for fans who play on Xbox.
Recently, Xbox announced a Palworld sweepstakes contest in which players have a chance to win a Palworld-themed Xbox Series S, four unique controllers, and a three-month Game Pass Ultimate code. Each controller is themed around a different Pal, including Pengullet and Cattiva. Users must be 18 years old to enter the contest, which can be done by simply retweeting Xbox's post with the correct hashtag. The sweepstakes event is live until March 17. Fortunately, Palworld's newest hardware offering for Xbox fans is much more straightforward.
Palworld Breeder Creates the Ultimate Lamball
A Palworld player breeds the ultimate Lamball, coming up with the most powerful version of this seemingly inoffensive sheep-like Pal.
Palworld's official Twitter account revealed that two new controllers, inspired by Pals Lamball and Depresso, are now available to purchase. The $150 Lamball controller is the more expensive option due to it being an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller. However, the $80 Depresso standard controller comes in at a more reasonable price. The pricey Lamball controller draws inspiration from the spherical Pal by including a combination of white, brown, and orange colors. Similarly, the Depresso controller incorporates the Pal's blue and purple colors. The Depresso controller is particularly stylish due to its use of the Xbox Design Lab's Aqua Shift body, which features a light blue to dark blue color shift emanating outwards from the center of the controller.

Palworld has not specified whether the controllers are a limited-time offer or will be available on Xbox's website for some time. However, in other recent news, Palworld released a new Xbox update today, on February 28, which added backup save data and a plethora of fixes and changes. The same update was released for PC users on February 26.
The recent Palworld update has proven to be one of the more controversial ones since the game was released, due to players no longer being able to breed negative traits out of Pals. However, Palworld developers have since confirmed that this aspect of the game will be rolled back in a future update, although it's still unclear when this change will take place.
Palworld's massive success has made it an early contender for 2024's game of the year. Although it seems like a steep mountain to climb at this point, Palworld could be the first indie survival game to compete in the competitive category, assuming that it continues to receive regular updates as well as new content down the road.
