Xbox new hardware leaks online, sounds kind of awesome

New Xbox hardware has leaked online, giving players a look at some upcoming releases as part of the Xbox brand.

Before you get ahead of yourself, these aren’t new consoles - there’s no sign of the rumoured Xbox handheld, yet.

Everything is an Xbox. You're an Xbox. I'm an Xbox.

However, if you’re an Xbox fan, and you’re in the market for a new controller, you might want to hold off buying one until these are released.

According to Jez Corden and Rand al Thor, there are three new controller variants in production.

As part of this new line up, the Xbox Elite 3 is on the way, featuring better connection capabilities, along with new haptic feedback options, and adjustable triggers.

Also included is a second controller featuring an LED status bar, better Bluetooth connection, and direct xCloud connection to mitigate latency when playing games via the cloud services.

Lastly, another controller, codenamed Sebile, is a standard Xbox controller featuring full haptic feedback, however, this controller also features rumbles to inform the player of issues like low latency, poor connections, and possibly battery life.

This third option also features a button to switch back and forth between standard connections and the xCloud low latency option.

While fans on Reddit are intrigued by the new hardware, many were hoping for other features such as gyroscoping.

All are, however, hoping for a better build quality for the Elite 3, as it’s been said that the previous iterations lacked longevity.

It’s worth remembering that this is word of mouth, at the moment, and Microsoft hasn’t announced anything officially, but we’d put safe money on a hardware refresh.

One Redditor just wants simplicity though, saying, “Give me a controller that doesn’t drift or break out of the box, and that lasts a week on a pair of rechargeable AAs. That’s it.”

Hopefully, more news will come directly from Xbox soon enough.
