Gamers have spotted a YouTube video showing off a mysterious new premium Xbox Elite Controller. This one has the particularity of being completely white, an original design for the accessory. If the video seems to be true, it is still difficult to say with certainty that Microsoft does indeed plan to release this new model.
For a few years, Microsoft has been offering demanding gamers what is probably the best controller on the market right now: the Xbox Elite Controller. Compatible on Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC, this one is mainly aimed at professional gamers but is also suitable for those who want to enjoy the best gaming experience – which further justifies its rather high price compared to the competition.
If rumors about a potential Xbox Elite Controller Series 3 surfaced lately, a mysterious YouTube video reveals a brand new model never mentioned until now. It is in fact aan all-white controller, which is reminiscent of the design of the Xbox Series S. Unfortunately, the video shows very little of the controller itself. It is thus necessary to be satisfied with the packaging to see what it looks like.
Is Microsoft preparing a white Xbox Elite controller?
This raises the question of the veracity of this leak. Indeed, the video itself only counts very few views, just over 1800 at the time of writing these lines. In addition, the fact that we see very little of the controller may seem suspicious. Some refer to this as the possibility of a fake, made from components from the Xbox Design Lab. However, several reasons lead us to believe that it is a real model.

To start, the packaging seems to be real, this one taking up the usual design of the boxes and the quality seeming optimal. It therefore seems a little strange that the author of the video pushes the vice to the point of recreating this packaging to perfection to make people believe in his ruse. In addition, the absence of a white model contrasts with the design of the Xbox Series S, which could push Microsoft to finally market it. As for the price, it is likely that it will remain the same €179.99.
