Here's What We Know
In the screenshot shared by Red Better xCloud, two key terms were identified - "sebile" and "actium". The term "sebile" refers to an Xbox controller with a direct connection to the cloud, similar to Google's Stadia controller, while "actium" indicates an updated version of the Xbox Elite controller. The word "Delgado" was also found, which means "thin" in Spanish.
According to the eXtas1s account, which specialises in leaks and rumours, these keywords mean that the new controllers will be compatible with the next-generation Xbox consoles. They are expected to feature an improved DualSense haptic system, modular components, and internal batteries that will replace the replaceable batteries used in previous Xbox controllers.
This information coincides with earlier leaked FTC documents that mentioned that Xbox controllers will have new features such as haptic feedback and gyroscope support. The new controllers are also rumoured to have modular analogue joysticks and Bluetooth 5.2 support.
