Microsoft is launching a new version of its popular Xbox Elite controller today at E3 2019. It’s the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, and it has been totally reengineered according to Microsoft.
Microsoft says its new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 has “over 30 new ways to play like a pro,” including adjustable-tension thumbsticks and updated triggers. The pad also comes with wraparound rubberized grips and up to three custom profiles so that you don’t have to reconfigure everything when you switch between Forza Horizon 4 and the upcoming Gears 5. According to a quick teaser, the Series 2 Elite controller will last 40 hours on a single charge and can be replenished with an included charging dock. We don’t have a price tag just yet, but it should be available to pre-order from xbox.com later today. It will be available on November 4th in 24 countries, priced at $179.99.
