Microsoft will reportedly announce a new Xbox wireless controller later this month.
This is according to dataminer ‘Billbil-kun’ from French outlet Dealabs (via VGC), who claims that another variant of the ‘Cipher’ controller for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S is on the way.
Billbil-kun, who has a history of accurate reporting on unreleased hardware in the past, said that the new controller will be called ‘Red Cipher Special Edition’. It will be the third device in Microsoft’s ongoing Cipher series after Sky Cipher and Ghost Cipher, which launched in August and October 2024 respectively.
It will presumably be similar in style to the previously released Sky Cipher and Ghost Cipher controllers, but will instead feature a bright red design and a transparent casing, showing the inside of the device, with maroon red buttons on the back.
There is no estimated release date for the controller at this time, but Dealabs believes it will be announced later this month and will be available exclusively on the official Microsoft store.
As for the price, the Red Cipher will cost the same as the Cipher series: $69.99 / £64.99 / €69.99.
