SCUF does what Xbox doesn’t, releasing a Squid Game-inspired controller, but another limited edition version isn’t available to everyone

What you need to know

  • Xbox, SCUF, and Activision are partnering with Netflix to promote Squid Game Season 2 through controllers, tournaments, and a Call of Duty Black Ops 6 in-game event.
  • For the first time in recent memory, an Xbox collaboration controller is for sale to anybody who wants one rather than being locked behind a sweepstakes.
  • You can purchase the Squid Game Pink Guard SCUF – Instinct Pro Wireless Performance Controller from BestBuy (U.S. Only) and SCUF.
  • A limited edition “Game Over Controller” is also being given away through a tournament and sweepstakes .

As a die-hard gamer and a devoted fan of both Xbox and Netflix, I can’t help but feel exhilarated by this latest collaboration between Xbox, SCUF, Activision, and none other than Squid Game! The opportunity to immerse myself further into the world of one of my favorite shows while also leveling up my gaming experience is a dream come true.


If you didn’t catch the Netflix hit, Squid Game, when it debuted in 2021, don’t worry – there’s still plenty of time to jump on the bandwagon before season 2 premieres on December 26th, 2024. To stir up excitement for the return of this chilling and macabre series, Xbox, SCUF, and Activision have joined forces with Netflix.

Do you have what it takes to win the limited edition Game Over Controller?

As a researcher, I found myself captivated by this unique, limited-edition controller, meticulously designed with inspiration drawn from the distinctive tracksuits worn by the players in the popular show. Each piece is uniquely numbered from 1 to 456, making it a truly exclusive item. To stand a chance of owning it, I must participate in the Xbox “Game Over” Activation Event, happening in NYC as part of Squid Game: The Experience. Here, fans will engage in an exhilarating Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Nuketown tournament, where victories could potentially lead to this coveted prize.

Those who win will be able to keep one of the exclusive Game Over controllers. For further details, visit the official Microsoft Game Over Controller Giveaway webpage.

Although such combinations of controllers and consoles may initially seem exciting, they fail to deliver enduring worth. The Starfield controller on my shelf always catches my eye daily, making it a tangible keepsake to recall one of my cherished game series. It would be advantageous for Xbox to capitalize on this by creating more items like these that fans can treasure.

Call of Duty brings Squid Game to the party

As an analyst, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve learned about an upcoming crossover event between Call of Duty and Squid Game, set to kick off in January. Further details are expected to unfold soon. This exciting collaboration was officially announced earlier this week on the CallofDuty X account.

Given the initial data, it appears we might soon witness “Time-Bound Modes” in Multiplayer, Zombies, and Call of Duty: Warzone during active seasons. The allure is evident if one considers the triumph of Squid Game modes in platforms such as Roblox or Fortnite. Squid Game effectively escalated the excitement by enhancing familiar games like red light, green light and tug of war, making them suitable for a game engine.

I can’t think of a better way to demonstrate my enthusiasm for the Call of Duty Crossover on Xbox and PC, as well as Season 2 of Squid Game, than by getting the new Squid Game Pink Guard Controller. What makes this even better is that since it’s made by SCUF, you can trust that it will be a high-quality controller that noticeably enhances your gaming experience.

It’s time for Xbox to follow SCUF’s lead and put future collaborations on retail shelves.

I’m hoping that SCUF will carry on providing opportunities for regular Xbox fans and enthusiasts of popular entertainment brands to buy crossover controllers in the future. The lack of special edition controllers available for purchase from Xbox has been a recurring issue within the Xbox community over the past few years, with complaints ranging from the Deadpool and Wolverine controllers to the Sonic 2 ones, all of which were only obtainable through sweepstakes. It appears that SCUF could be well-suited to address this market gap, given their potential to deliver these sought-after items.

Xbox has done well in designing controllers for its popular titles like Forza and Halo. However, customized controllers and consoles have often been given away through sweepstakes rather than being made available for purchase. If Xbox were to treat these items as custom orders, it would provide a unique opportunity for dedicated fans.
