New Xbox Vapor Series Controllers
The special edition controller’s exclusive dynamic background implements a pink and purple backdrop that subtly swirls. Aesthetically, it’s very pleasing and will join the lineup of other coolXbox dynamic backgrounds, which just added five new designs earlier this month.
Recently, fans spotted amysterious Amazon listing for a Microsoft-branded Xbox controller, which displays a release date for February 20th. The listing is still live at the time of writing but is also still devoid of any details. It’s unclear whether this listing is linked to the Vapor series of controllers or if fans can look forward to additional announcements next month regarding Xbox controllers.
Xbox fans might have additional controller news to look forward to this year, as an insider claimed that anall-new Xbox controller might be revealed this summer. The controller, codenamed Sebile, is expected to implement some of the features seen in PlayStation’s DualSense controller, such as precision haptic feedback. However, most of this information came from leaked court documents and the controller has yet to be officially announced, so for now, fans should probably try to keep their hopes in check.
