According to a new report, the Xbox team is working on three new controller models.
Microsoft obviously prepares for major changes with regard to your own Xbox controller and works behind the scenes on several new models. This now emerges from a new report by the well-informed and well-networked Jez Corden, which took up the topic in a new edition of the Xbox Two Podcast.
According to this, the team is currently working on at least three new Xbox controllers, which are prepared as a prototype for future use. “What I've heard in the past few months there are three prototypes for the controller,” said Corden, which is subsequently a little more detailed. A prototype should therefore become a more cost-effective basic model like the current standard controller-but with some Next gene improvements.
In addition, there is a medium price category controller, as well as a controller in the “Elite Elite Elite” category; The latter should become a “real Elite Series 3” controller from the Xbox House.
While the concrete features of the new models are still unclear in detail, the high end model should have a “Direct to Cloud” Wi-Fi connection, which enables a connection via Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth. The aim is to minimize LAG in this context that is caused by Bluetooth connections
However, Corden has not yet been able to find out until when an announcement of the new peripheral devices has not yet been determined. According to his assessment, it is possible that it could either be announced next year or only to match the Next Gen box.
