Xbox’s upcoming cloud gaming controller has leaked, and it’s turning heads with its pint-sized design. Why should you care? Well, if you love gaming on the go or need something that doesn’t take up much space, this might be right up your alley.
The controller, discovered by Technoblog, is much smaller than your typical Xbox controller, almost like a Joy-Con in size. Despite its compact form, it packs all the usual buttons and features Bluetooth, USB-C, and rechargeable batteries. It’s expected to come in black and white. While the release date is still a mystery, such leaks often hint at a reveal soon, possibly aligning with Xbox’s summer showcase.

Microsoft’s push into cloud gaming isn’t new. The company has been investing heavily in the space, making it possible to stream games to various devices, from consoles to smart TVs. Former Xbox head Phil Spencer highlighted a 45% increase in cloud gaming hours on consoles recently. This new controller could further enhance the experience for gamers looking to play anywhere. Speaking of gaming on the cheap, don’t miss Humble’s epic indie game bundle for a steal.
Keep an eye out for official announcements about the controller’s release and potential hands-on reviews. As gaming evolves, having the right gear can make all the difference.
