Microsoft has quietly pushed two new Xbox controllers into development, revealed by leaked images from Tecnoblog and verified by Brazil’s Anatel certificates. The first, the Xbox Cloud Gaming controller, adopts a slim silhouette reminiscent of third‑party models like 8BitDo. Black and white options feature the full standard layout plus a central pairing button and view/menu toggles.

The Cloud Gaming design includes Wi‑Fi 6 support on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, letting it connect directly to Microsoft’s cloud servers for lower latency. Bluetooth 5.3 also appears, alongside a 500 mAh rechargeable battery charged via USB‑C. The second design, the Elite Series 3, keeps the familiar Xbox shape but adds a scroll‑wheel next to the headphone jack.

Elite Series 3 also supports Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth, matching the Cloud Gaming controller’s connectivity. It ships with a removable 1,528 mAh battery, 34 % smaller than the previous model’s cell, hinting at improved portability. With both controllers targeting distinct use cases—cloud play and premium local gaming—Microsoft signals a broader push to accommodate diverse player preferences now today for gamers worldwide in all regions.
