14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just revealed its new lineup of next-generation Xbox accessories, which will be available for purchase alongside its new consoles on November 10. First off, new options for Xbox wireless and wired controllers will be introduced in less than two months.
Besides the already announced Xbox Wireless Controller in Carbon Black and Robot White, this November, customers will be able to choose from three additional options. First up is Microsoft's new Xbox Wireless Controller in Shock Blue, which is optimized for next-generation gameplay.
Then, for those who prefer to play on PC, Microsoft has updated its PC controller bundles to include the new Xbox Wireless Controller in Carbon Black. Players will now be able to choose between the Xbox Wireless Controller + Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 bundle for freedom of movement or play connected with the Xbox Wireless Controller + USB-C Cable bundle. Naturally, you'll be able to connect these controllers to your PC with Bluetooth.
As seen in the pictures published by Microsoft, these new controllers feature a more-inclusive, ergonomic design and performance-boosting updates. All feature textured grip on the bumpers, triggers, and back case, while the Elite controller-inspired hybrid D-pad enables greater precision with easier access to diagonals and sweeps.
Also, a new Share button has been integrated into the controllers, which lets you capture and record your most epic moments right from the controller. Pictures and videos can then be shared to social media platforms from the console dashboard or the Xbox app.
The new controllers can be pairs to devices including Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Windows 10 PC, and mobile devices. Finally, Microsoft revealed that it has refreshed its rechargeable battery solution and will now offer the Xbox Rechargeable Battery + USB-C Cable.
The Xbox Wireless Controllers in Carbon Black, Robot White, Shock Blue, the PC controller bundles, and the Rechargeable Battery + USB-C Cable will be available beginning November 10. The improved controller will be up for purchase for $60, while the Xbox Rechargeable Battery + USB-C Cable will cost $25.
