Microsoft will reportedly announce a new Xbox Wireless Controller later this month.
It’s ‘Billcar-only’ according to dataminers for French outlet Dealabs (via VGC ), who claim another ‘Cipher’ variant controller for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S is on the way.
Billbil-kun, who has a record of accurate reporting on unreleased hardware in the past, said the new controller will be named ‘Red Cipher Special Edition’. It will be the third device in Microsoft’s ongoing Cipher series, following Sky Cipher and Ghost Cipher, which were released in August and October 2024, respectively.
It will probably be similar in style to the previously released Sky Cipher and Ghost Cipher controllers, but instead will have a bright red design and a transparent case that shows the inside of the device with garnet red buttons on the back.
There’s no estimated release date for the controller at this time, but Dealabs believes it will be announced later this month and available exclusively on Microsoft’s official store.
As for the price, the Red Cipher will cost the same as those in the Cipher range at $69.99 / £64.99 / €69.99.
