Overview
- Images posted by Brazil’s Anatel regulator and shared by Tecnoblog on Thursday showed two unannounced Xbox controllers: a small cloud-focused pad and an Elite Series 3.
- The compact controller is reported to use Wi‑Fi 6 to connect directly to Xbox Cloud Gaming servers to cut latency, with Bluetooth 5.3 and a built‑in 500mAh battery.
- The Elite Series 3 images show rear paddles, an interchangeable D‑pad, two new scroll wheels, a local‑to‑cloud mode switch, and a removable rechargeable battery listed around 1,528mAh.
- Microsoft has not confirmed either product, there is no price or release date, and outlets note no public FCC filing yet for the compact pad in the U.S., with a June 7 showcase mentioned only as speculation.
- The designs align with Xbox’s push for cloud play—similar to Google Stadia’s direct‑to‑Wi‑Fi approach—and could bring lower input lag and easier device switching for people streaming on TVs, phones, and PCs.
