Samsung’s Galaxy XR Controllers Are Back in Stock—But You May Have to Wait
After selling out on day one, the $249 Galaxy XR Controllers are available again in the USA, with flexible payment options and limited shipping delays
Galaxy XR Controllers Return After Early Sellout
Samsung’s newly announced Galaxy XR Controllers are now back in stock in the USA, just days after selling out at launch. Designed as optional accessories for the Galaxy XR headset, the controllers address one of the headset’s key limitations—air gesture control.
- Many early buyers opted for physical controllers due to the lack of tactile feedback in air gestures.
- This high demand led to the first wave selling out within 24 hours.
Pricing and Bundle Discounts
The Galaxy XR Controllers are priced at $249 when purchased separately, which may feel steep to some. However, Samsung is also offering a 30% discount when the controllers are purchased as part of a Galaxy XR bundle.
Purchase options include:
- One-time payment
- Samsung Financing (12 months)
- 4 biweekly installments of $62.50
Shipping is free, but delivery times may vary by region—some buyers may wait a few weeks depending on availability in their area.
Why You Might Want the Controllers
While the Galaxy XR headset supports gesture-based input, many users find physical controllers better for gaming, productivity, and content navigation.
Key reasons to consider them:
- Improved precision in apps and games
- Haptic feedback for more immersive interaction
- Easier to use in long sessions or complex tasks
In short, the controllers enhance the usability and experience of Samsung’s high-end XR platform.
Galaxy XR Headset Still Available with Big Early-Buyer Perks
The Galaxy XR headset itself is still available for $1,799 without controllers. Early adopters can save up to $1,140 with the Explorer Pack, which includes:
- 1 year of Google AI Pro
- YouTube Premium, Calm Premium
- Adobe Project Pulsar, Google Play Pass
- 3 months of YouTube TV
- Sports and XR content like NFL Pro Era, NBA League Pass, and ASTEROID
This bundle is designed to give new XR users a head start across entertainment, productivity, wellness, and creativity.
Summary: Controllers Are Back, But Act Fast
If you’re planning to buy or already own the Galaxy XR headset, now is a good time to grab the controllers while they’re available. Given their quick sellout the first time around and current delivery delays, placing an order sooner ensures you’ll get the most out of your XR setup without waiting too long.
