Redditor buys what looks to be a prototype for unreleased Xbox Elite Series 3 controller, posts about it on Reddit, then the thread goes dark
A Reddit user reportedly bought what appeared to be a prototype of Microsoft’s unannounced Xbox Elite Series 3 controller and shared images and details online. The post then became unavailable or inactive, prompting speculation that the device may have been genuine, although this has not been independently confirmed.
The apparent prototype could indicate that Microsoft is developing a successor to the current Elite Series 2 controller, a premium gamepad first released in 2019. As the discussion disappeared soon after being posted, there is limited reliable information about the controller’s features, origin or possible release date.
