Nacon and Microsoft team up for Xbox-branded peripherals

Recently, Microsoft announced a partnership with Bang & Olufsen for high-end gaming audio peripherals. Now, in preparation for the Xbox Series X, more peripheral license partners are joining up, with the latest being Nacon, best known for third-party game controllers.

Nacon, previously known as Bigben Interactive, is a French gaming company that has been around for decades. Previously, Nacon has worked with the likes of SEGA and Atari, in addition to third-party controllers for PlayStation consoles and PC. Now, Nacon also has a global license to produce peripherals for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC.

We are pleased to announce a new global licencing agreement with @Microsoft for the creation of officially licensed accessories designed for @Xbox One, #XboxSeriesX and #PC.

Nacon's partnership with Microsoft seems like a natural path for the company, although the first Xbox-branded products are still due to be announced. In the meantime, Nacon will still be shipping games and various other peripherals, ranging from headsets and microphones to controllers and chairs.
