Another new Xbox controller is on the way, this time with cloud gaming in mind.
According to a new leak from Tecnoblog, Xbox is developing a compact controller that focuses on users of Xbox Cloud Gaming. This new controller, per the report, features a smaller design, a rechargeable internal battery, Bluetooth connectivity, and, for the first time, built-in Wi-Fi.
In addition to the details, Tecnoblog has leaked images of the controller in both black and white.
As far as the features, it has Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6 for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz connections and a 500mAh battery. Its chip is Realtek’s RTL8730E with two 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A7 cores. For Buttons, it has your typical Xbox controller layout as well as the pairing button at the top next to the USB-C port.
Microsoft has yet to confirm or announce this controller, but it feels like only a matter of time before something official is said. In addition to this new cloud controller, Xbox is reportedly working on a new Elite Series 3 and a new basic controller.
