Microsoft is reportedly launching new Xbox hardware this year, including next-generation Xbox wireless controllers.
That’s according to Windows Central, which reports that, according to sources, the Xbox Elite Controller Series 3 will be revealed in 2026, along with other new controllers.
“I’m told we should also see new Xbox hardware this year. I think we’ll finally see coverage of the Xbox Elite Controller Series 3 in 2026, and maybe even other controller revisions,” said Windows Central’s Jez Corden.
It is also claimed that next-gen Xbox controllers will all support direct-to-WiFi connectivity and eliminate Bluetooth latency from cloud gaming scenarios.
The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 was released in 2023 as the successor to the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller and offered multiple improvements, including interchangeable sticks, shorter hair trigger locks, and more customization options.
It was also significantly more expensive than its predecessor, costing £159.99/$179.99.
Windows Central hasn’t provided any further details on the release of the new Xbox controllers, but based on the rumored changes, it’s possible they will cost a bit more than the Series 2 controller.
