The front faceplate of the controller is gloss red and features the Pizza Hut logo. The Pizza Hut Red controller is a limited edition Xbox One controller that was offered as a prize during Pizza Hut's 'The Triple Treat Box Instant Win and Sweepstakes' from November 7 to December 24, 2016. Bluetooth support allowed for these controllers to be used with Windows 10 PCs without the use of an adapter. Third generation Xbox Wireless controllers added Bluetooth support and better thumbsticks and triggers. Xbox Design Lab controllers also used this model. They were originally released with the Xbox One S in 2016 and were also bundled with the Xbox One X in 2017. Third generation Xbox wireless controllers were produced from 2016 until late 2020, when they were succeeded by the new controllers bundled with the Xbox Series X and S.
These models were succeeded by the third generation which was only released a few months after the release of this variant. This controller was also the last Xbox One controller to be released as a part of the second generation of Xbox One controllers. The design is exactly the same as the Copper Shadow controller, but this variant uses a blue to black faceplate and has blue, ,, button rather than the copper colored ones from the other variant. The Dusk Shadow Controller was the other variant of the Shadow edition Xbox One controllers.
