Oops, they did it again! The Brazilian regulator Anatel accidentally spilled the beans on the much-anticipated Xbox Elite Controller 3, and it’s got Xbox fans buzzing. This leak, picked up by local site Tecnoblog and later by The Verge, shows off some exciting new features that gamers are going to love.
So, what’s new? For starters, the controller sports two nifty scroll wheels at the bottom, perfect for those who love extra control at their fingertips. There’s also a new pairing button which might let you switch between local and cloud modes. Plus, say goodbye to disposable batteries—the D-pad has been redesigned, and the controller is finally embracing a removable, rechargeable battery.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about Xbox hardware leaks from Tecnoblog—earlier today, they teased a pint-sized Xbox Cloud Gaming controller too. With the last Xbox Elite controller update back in 2019, it’s about time for a refresh. Could this mean an early announcement from Microsoft? With Xbox’s big summer showcase just around the corner, keep your eyes peeled for more official news soon.
