[Pc Gamers] New Xbox Controller with DualSense-Like Haptics Is Reportedly Still on the Way for Next-Gen

[Dexter.]

 

In September 2023, the existence of a new Xbox controller was leaked due to the inadvertent sharing of an internal Microsoft document as part of the FTC vs. Microsoft legal fight. The controller, codenamed Sebile, would feature improved wireless, direct-to-cloud connection, Bluetooth 5.2, new modular thumbsticks, replaceable and rechargeable batteries, and other minor improvements. The big addition, though, was the DualSense-like haptics feature.

Microsoft Gaming boss Phil Spencer did not hide his appreciation for the PlayStation 5 controller when it launched alongside Sony's console in late 2020. A few months later, he reiterated the concept while also teasing that Xbox would have to catch up in this area. The document leak proved he was very serious about that. However, since there haven't been any official updates on the topic, there was no way to know whether the project bore fruit. After all, it could have easily been canceled.
