Gamers may not need to wait until 2027 for Xbox news. A leak indicates a Wi-Fi-connected controller could launch in 2026, potentially supporting direct Xbox Cloud Gaming connections and lower input lag.

Microsoft is betting on software and services over expensive hardware: Game Pass prices rose in 2025, and this controller could complement a new free cloud tier, enhancing performance for casual and hardcore gamers alike. Fable, Halo, and Forza fans will have plenty to celebrate in Xbox’s 25th anniversary year!
