This was announced by the co-founder, citing his own sources. XboxEra and one of the hosts of the podcast of the same name Nick Baker. According to the journalist, the “greens” have created a prototype and are even conducting internal testing of a new controller for Xbox, equipped with a touchpad in the manner of DualSense and DualShock 4. In addition, it will present an analogue of the technology HD Rumblewhich allows you to accurately emit various tactile effects.
Despite the existence of prototypes, the insider emphasizes that there are no guarantees that the controller will go on sale. The Xbox team is only experimenting, and his sources say that the prototype is still far from the consumer version.
