- New Xbox Wireless Controller Reportedly Announced This Month
- The new controller will be part of the “Cipher” series
- The Red Cipher would cost $69.99 / £64.99 / €69.99
Microsoft is reportedly set to announce a new Xbox Wireless Controller later this month.
That’s according to dataminer “Billibil-kun” for French site Dealabs (via VGC), who claims that another “Cipher” controller variant for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S is on the way.
Billbil-kun, who has a history of accurately reporting on unreleased hardware in the past, said the new controller will be called “Red Cipher Special Edition.” This will be the third device in Microsoft’s ongoing Cipher series after Sky Cipher and Ghost Cipher, released in August and October 2024, respectively.
It will likely be similar in style to the previously released Sky Cipher and Ghost Cipher controllers, but will instead feature a bright red design and a transparent case, showcasing the interior of the device, with garnet red buttons on the back.
There is no estimated release date for the controller at the moment, but Dealabs believes it will be announced later this month and will be available exclusively on Microsoft’s official store.
As for the price, the Red Cipher will cost the same as those in the Cipher series at $69.99 / £64.99 / €69.99.
