10th Anniversary Celebrations Continue – Special Edition The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Xbox Controllers

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt celebrates its 10th anniversary this month, and we at CD Projekt Red have commemorated the milestone by collaborating with the Xbox team to create a tempered and battle-ready controller for players looking to expand their witcher’s toolkit. Embark on the path with the Xbox Wireless Controller – The Witcher 3 10th Anniversary Special Edition and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core The Witcher 3 10th Anniversary Special Edition. This is such a special moment for both our teams, and we wanted to share some insight into how Geralt’s journey brought this design to life.

Our team has put great care into representing the style of The Witcher 3 and Geralt himself, headlined by the wolf medallion iconography at the center of the controller. The medallion acts as a constant for Geralt, one that allows him to adventure and warns him of lurking dangers, and we want players to connect with these controllers in the same way. We love how the design fits the layout of the controller, with the wolf’s head coming below the Xbox button and between the other inputs with its glowing red eyes. It’s very ominous and epic at the same time!

But this is just one design detail The Witcher 3 players can appreciate. The controllers also feature Glagolitic script, the oldest known Slavic alphabet and the same one found in the game itself. As for what the script says…we won’t spoil it here, but let’s just say those symbols are not random. The iconic red claw mark from The Witcher 3’s logo can also be found on the controller, paying homage to the grand adventures Geralt had throughout Velen, Novigrad, Skellige, and beyond. We gave the controller triggers two different colors in homage to the witcher’s twin swords too—silver for monsters, steel for humans.

These decorative elements are true to the style of The Witcher 3, coming across as if once painted or crafted with incredible care but now worn down and weathered. The world of The Witcher 3 is not always a pleasant one; it can be difficult and demanding, and it will leave its mark. We also worked with Joshua Flowers, Design Team Lead at CD Projekt Red, on establishing this vision.

“We explored a lot of directions when creating this controller, but from the beginning we knew we wanted to tell a story,” he said. “We wanted it to feel like something that has been with you on the path, something worn and personal. As we developed concepts, we began crafting the story of this controller—and how it might exist in The Witcher 3’s world. This narrative is what we fell in love with. It had to feel like it belonged in The Witcher 3 universe—like it had lived through battles and carried stories of its own.”

These special edition controllers are the perfect accessories to commemorate 10 years of The Witcher 3 — 10 years of killing monsters, 10 years of playing Gwent, and 10 years of winds howling. The Witcher 3 has such a lasting legacy, and we wanted to commemorate this by releasing something that fits right in the hands of the players who journeyed with Geralt over the last 10 years. We’re not just celebrating a defining moment in CD Projekt Red’s history; we’re also celebrating the endless adventures had by players over the last decade, and all the joy and excitement they’ve reciprocated to us.

“We are incredibly excited to be working so closely with Xbox on the Special Edition The Witcher 3 controllers,” said Agnieszka Skuza, marketing specialist at CD Projekt Red. “It was great to bounce ideas back and forward with Xbox as we both worked to create something truly special. The Witcher 3 has such a lasting legacy, and we wanted to commemorate this by releasing something that fits right in the hands of players who’s journeyed with Geralt over the last 10 years.”
