Rumors of Updated Xbox Controller with Bluetooth Switch Surface
Following a leak last fall that hinted at new models of Xbox Series S/X and updated controllers, speculation has resurfaced regarding the potential release of an updated Xbox controller with a physical switch for Bluetooth connectivity.
High-profile insiders and reporters, including Tom Warren of The Verge and Jez Corden of Windows Central, have hinted at the existence of this new controller. Corden highlighted the presence of a physical switch on the device that would allow users to easily toggle between Bluetooth and Xbox connectivity.
While current Xbox Series S/X controllers can already switch to Bluetooth mode by pressing the sync button twice, a physical switch would undoubtedly streamline the process and potentially expand the controller’s utility for mobile gaming and other applications.
Although Corden’s claims have not been officially confirmed by Microsoft, the company has acknowledged that they are actively working on Xbox hardware. The leak from last year also suggested a potential release date for the updated controller sometime this year.
As fans eagerly await further updates from Microsoft, the prospect of an improved Xbox controller with enhanced features continues to generate excitement within the gaming community. Stay tuned for more developments on this story as it unfolds.
