The Xbox Nano Controller is priced at US$49.99, with pre-orders open since October 14, 2026. It is designed for smaller hands and for players who want a portable controller, with the first release beginning in November.
A compact design with an internal rechargeable battery
Xbox describes the Nano as its smallest controller, measuring a little over five inches and weighing 3.5 ounces, or about 99 grams. The smaller design retains a familiar Xbox control layout, including buttons and analog sticks.
An internal rechargeable battery is charged using a USB-C cable. The cable is sold separately, so buyers who do not already have one will need to account for that accessory.
Connecting to Xbox, PC and mobile devices
The Nano uses Xbox Wireless to connect to Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. It can connect through Bluetooth to Windows 10/11 PCs, tablets, iOS, Android and compatible Smart TVs. Games must also support controller input.
A programmable Action Button can be assigned to features such as screenshots, gameplay capture or frequently used shortcuts. It provides access to a common action alongside the familiar gameplay controls.
No Vietnam release schedule has been announced
Xbox lists 36 markets for the initial November release, including the United States, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Vietnam is not on the list. Additional markets are planned, but Xbox has not provided their timing or confirmed a release schedule for Vietnam.
The announced price is US$49.99, while pricing and availability may vary by country. If buying through an importer, check the final price, delivery timing and warranty terms with the seller before ordering.
