A New Xbox Controller Is Coming and It’s Not What You’d Expect
The compact controller appears to add Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth and a 500mAh battery as Microsoft expands support for cloud gaming.
- Leaked images from a Brazilian regulator reveal an unannounced, compact Microsoft Xbox Cloud Gaming controller featuring a rectangular body with shorter grips and the familiar Xbox button layout.
- Microsoft is investing heavily in cloud gaming to expand its ecosystem; former Xbox boss Phil Spencer noted last year that cloud gaming hours increased 45% on console and 24% on other devices between 2024 and 2025.
- The controller features a built-in 500mAh rechargeable battery, marking a shift from traditional AA usage, and supports "2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi" and "Bluetooth 5.3" via a Realtek chipset with dual-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor.
- Photos shared by Brazilian website Tecnoblog show the device in both black and white finishes, with a compact design resembling the 8BitDo SN30 Pro while retaining standard buttons like the D-Pad.
- Official pricing and availability remain unannounced; industry speculation suggests the device might appear at a summer showcase, potentially targeting a release before year-end.
