Two Unannounced Xbox Controllers Have Been Revealed

We've already written quite a bit about the changes Xbox has been going through lately, and it seems the flagship event where we'll see most of these changes come to fruition will be at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 7th. Over the past three years, Xbox has used its major annual event to showcase new hardware, and it's possible that this year they planned to do the same with the reveal of new controllers that have apparently leaked online in recent days.

Images of the new controllers come from Tecnoblog, which reveals two new controllers that are different from each other. The first appears to be the Elite Series 3 controller, and if the images and details are accurate, we can see that it more or less continues the same design language as previous controllers in the series, remaining in the premium category both in terms of price and features. Among the new additions with the Elite Series 3, we can see two silver wheels at the bottom of the controller whose function is unknown.

The second controller is the more interesting of the two in my opinion. Currently it's been given the name Xbox Cloud Controller, and as you can see in the images, it's a much smaller controller while maintaining all the familiar Xbox buttons and layout. According to Tecnoblog, its triggers and top buttons (RB, LB) feel more like Joy-Con buttons than "regular" Xbox controller buttons. According to the report, this controller will be aimed at players who use the company's Cloud Gaming service and don't own a console. The controller's price is unknown, but it's expected to be significantly cheaper than a standard controller, featuring a 500mAh battery and support for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 6.

It should be said and noted that as of now, we haven't received any official information about these two controllers, and all the details here should be treated as rumor until Xbox officially confirms or denies them.
