Upcoming May reveal for new Xbox controller

Xbox gaming enthusiasts can look forward to the reveal of a new Xbox controller slated for May this year. The controller, codenamed 'Sebile,' which leaked through FCC documents from last year's lawsuit between Microsoft and the FTC, promises to bring innovative features. It is expected to have modular analog sticks and offer two color options—black and white. Additionally, the controller is rumored to support gyro for motion-sensitive controls and is anticipated to provide 'precise haptic feedback,' suggesting potential improvements over current Xbox controllers. Users can also expect quieter buttons and sticks as well as a rechargeable and replaceable battery. While Microsoft has yet to officially announce the new Xbox controller or any updates to the Series X console, gamers are keen to discover what enhancements the new hardware will offer.

The new Xbox controller is expected to be officially unveiled in May.
