Leaked Images Reveal Compact Design of Xbox Cloud Gaming Controller
New images of Microsoft's upcoming Xbox cloud gaming controller have leaked online, revealing a significantly smaller and more compact design compared to standard Xbox controllers. Discovered by Technoblog, the device resembles the size of a Nintendo Joy-Con and features slight grooves on the triggers. Key specifications include support for 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, USB-C charging, and a rechargeable 500mAh battery. The controller is expected to launch in black and white color options, though an official release date remains unconfirmed. Industry observers speculate it may be unveiled during Xbox's summer showcase with a potential release before the end of the year. This hardware development aligns with Microsoft's strategic investment in cloud gaming, aiming to support gameplay on diverse devices such as smart TVs and mobile phones. Recent data indicates a substantial increase in cloud gaming usage, with hours up 45% on consoles and 24% on other devices between 2024 and 2025. The leak originated from a Brazilian regulator, highlighting the global nature of product certification processes. This move underscores Microsoft's commitment to expanding its cloud ecosystem alongside its next-generation console projects.
