Xbox Elite 3 Prototype Leaks With Tiny Built-In Screen

Well, folks, it looks like another piece of unreleased tech might have just slipped out. A Reddit user recently posted what seem to be legitimate photos of a prototype Xbox controller, and the buzz is that it’s the upcoming Xbox Elite Series 3. The Redditor claims they snagged this pad for a cool $200 on OfferUp, which is certainly an interesting way to get your hands on next-gen hardware!

This isn't the first time we've heard whispers about the Elite Series 3. Back in May, some images leaked via a Brazilian regulator, giving us a peek at what Microsoft might have in store. Those earlier leaks hinted at some significant upgrades, including two new scroll wheels on the bottom edge. Plus, there was talk of a second wireless mode designed to connect directly to Xbox Cloud Gaming servers, alongside a new 'Pair Button' that could also switch between those servers and your console.

Now, with these new photos, we might just have a clearer picture of where that 'Pair Button' could be located. The images hint at a potential spot for this button, and more excitingly, suggest the possibility of a small, integrated screen. While details are scarce, a built-in screen on a high-end controller like the Elite Series 3 could open up a world of possibilities for on-the-fly adjustments, profile switching, or even displaying crucial game information. We'll have to wait for official word from Microsoft, but this leak certainly has the gaming community buzzing with anticipation for what the Xbox Elite Series 3 might bring to the table.
