With a new year comes new hardware from major console developers, and recently, Xbox has been seemingly working on some new and interesting products for its consumers. One of these new products is a new Xbox controller mentioned in the leaked court documents from the Microsoft vs. FTC case regarding the software giant’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard.

This controller from Xbox was revealed last year under the codename “Sebile,” it is said to still be under production even if the planned mid-gen console refresh is not pushing through.

Key Takeaways

• The ‘Sebile’ controller features a direct-to-cloud gaming experience, allowing play from anywhere and easy pairing with devices.
• It includes enhanced haptic feedback, enabling players to interact more deeply with game environments.
• The controller is designed for easier repairs and improved durability compared to previous models.

At the time of writing, the new “Sebile” controller is speculated to be released along with the next-gen Xbox console release. We still have no idea if this controller will be part of a console or play a part in the Xbox Handheld console which is also in development as well.

New Xbox Controller New Features From Leaked Microsoft Documents

This controller is doing something called a direct-to-cloud gaming experience, which allows the controller to be able to be played anywhere and easily paired with any device. It also allows the player to interact with the feelings of the game surrounding them more than previous Xbox controllers have, through various vibrations and more.

In previous controllers from Xbox, it wasn’t an easy task to repair one of their controllers if broken, and this new “Sebile” controller is supposed to allow gamers to repair their controller with ease, bringing new durability to it. 

Lastly, this controller also ensures it continues to have that same Xbox controller feel all players are accustomed to now. Another important note for this controller is that it will be getting a few features from other devices such as Stadia. One of these features will allow the player to play games over Wi-Fi and allow the controller to directly point to connected devices. However, it is important to note that this controller is only known to the public based on patents that were leaked last year. With all of the features still unknown, it will be nice to see what Xbox is willing to bring to the table regarding next-generation hardware.
