“We aspire to create a gaming future in a world we want to play in. Earth Day is fast approaching and offers us all a special opportunity to reflect on how we can improve our impact on the planet. To celebrate this year, we’ve created an Xbox controller that contains reclaimed plastics, one-third of which is made from regrind and salvaged materials.
