Gamers are accustomed to using traditional Xbox controllers, connecting through consoles for their gaming experience. However, recent developments hint at a significant shift in how these controllers will function in the cloud gaming realm.
Images leaked from Brazil’s Anatel regulator reveal a compact Xbox controller designed to connect directly to Xbox Cloud Gaming servers via Wi-Fi. This change was initially hinted at earlier this year when details about Microsoft’s ambitions in cloud gaming began to surface.
The leaked design showcases a smaller, more streamlined controller, diverging from the typical bulkiness of existing models. It indicates Microsoft’s strategy to enhance user experience latency and improving access to games wherever users are.
The implications of this new controller could redefine mobile gaming. If successful, it may reinforce Microsoft’s position in the cloud gaming market, further enticing players and prompting competitors to rethink their strategies.
