Xbox Intends to Launch New Controller in 2026

The Verge, the upcoming controller may be a component of Microsoft’s initiative to expand its Xbox Cloud Gaming audience. The new controller is said to connect directly to the Cloud, potentially decreasing latency by linking straight to the game instead of routing through a console or other device. The existing selection of Xbox controllers only pairs with devices via Bluetooth or USB-C. Microsoft is allegedly nearing the launch of an advertisement-supported variant of Xbox Cloud Gaming, which could attract a larger group of mobile gamers. There are also speculations regarding a new Elite Controller 3, which is rumored to be released in 2026.

If the speculations hold true, the new Xbox controller could make its appearance as early as the Xbox Games Showcase on June 7. The showcase will present teasers of some of Xbox’s most significant first-party titles, including a Direct centered on the forthcoming prequel “Gears of War: E-Day”.

Reasons to Purchase a Pre-Owned PlayStation 5 Today

PlayStation 5, the moment to act is now if you wish to steer clear of higher costs. Beginning April 2, all fresh PlayStation 5 consoles will experience a significant price hike, with the PlayStation 5 Pro experiencing the steepest rise, surging $150 to $899.99. This not only implies that new consoles will face increased pricing, but used consoles as well — which could complicate the decision to invest in a PlayStation 5 in the near future for some.

If you’ve been pondering the purchase or simply awaiting a good offer, the time for hesitation has passed. GameStop has already adjusted its used PlayStation 5 prices, reportedly even making changes shortly before Sony’s price adjustment took effect. When you check the pre-owned PlayStation 5 Pro section on GameStop, the revised price is $807.49 at the time of this writing. Fortunately, you might still be able to discover one at the older price, or at least close to it, on eBay or similar platforms.
