Doom: The Dark Ages launches between May 13 and May 15, depending on the edition you choose. Initial impressions are strong—our reporter was thoroughly impressed during a recent hands-on preview. For fans eager to own special Doom-themed Xbox gear, preorders are now open. You can reserve a standard Xbox wireless controller, an Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, or an Xbox Series X console wrap, all featuring Doom: The Dark Ages branding. Let's dive into the details.

In my view, this is the top choice if you're only buying one item. It boasts the most distinct Doom design and looks absolutely striking—complete with a bloodstain effect, which is just awesome. Beyond its killer appearance, it’s a standard Xbox wireless controller, widely regarded as one of the best ever made. It offers a comfortable grip and works seamlessly with Xbox consoles, PCs, Macs, iPads, Android phones, and more.

For serious gamers, this is the controller to own. It’s a Microsoft Store exclusive, so you won’t find it elsewhere, but that’s no issue. This model is based on the Elite Series 2 Xbox controller, offering features like interchangeable thumbsticks and D-pads, hair trigger locks, adjustable stick tension, and fully customizable buttons and rear paddles. It’s my top recommendation for a premium elite controller available today.

To fully embrace the Doom: The Dark Ages aesthetic, consider this wrap that transforms your Xbox Series X into a demonic relic. The design resembles a rugged stone pillar branded with the Mark of the Slayer. It’s visually impressive and simple to apply to your console.
