In 2019, Microsoft launched its Xbox Elite Series 2. A controller that is, almost three years later, still among the best on the market. And the manufacturer is probably preparing some announcements at this level.

In addition to this supposed leak, the American firm would develop other peripherals for next year…

More than a simple variation?

Last June, Xbox relaunched its Design Lab by adding new options along the way. As we know, Microsoft’s gaming division is very active in the peripherals sector, and more mainly in controllers. It was to impose its leadership in this area that the brand released its Elite Series 2 controller at the end of 2019. A Halo Infinite edition even appeared for the launch of the game last year.

This week, it’s a video unearthed on YouTube, then published on social networks which makes the headlines. In this extract (see above), we can see an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller with a white front. The color is very similar to that sported by the Xbox Series S. Difficult to know if it is indeed a new version or an extremely well designed fake. Indeed, a packaging that also seems authentic is visible in this clip.

Next in ideas

According to the website Windows Central, Microsoft was planning to launch a “new” Elite controller during the holiday season. So it could well be that white version. Apart from its aesthetics, this copy should not bring any real novelties. We will undoubtedly find the four dorsal pallets, the charging station or the autonomy of around forty hours.

Finally, other hallway noises could indicate the more or less imminent announcement of an Xbox Elite Series 3. In addition to the controller, an official Xbox steering wheel designed for the next Forza Motorsport would be in preparation, all for a release in 2023. In the near future, Microsoft will inevitably put the package on gaming peripherals.
