“The Xbox Elite Series 3 controller is the predicted next release from Microsoft following the iconic Elite Series 2, which has been one of the most popular controllers to date.
We've now seen the first of many new PS5 controller options, albeit third-party, but when exactly will we see a new official pro-orientated gamepad hit the market for Xbox?
While the Xbox Elite Series 3 is an 'expected' title for the next gamepad, much in the same way the Logitech MX4 and PS5 Pro are expected to follow the MX3 and PS5 respectfully.
When is the Xbox Elite Series 3 Controller Release Date? As mentioned, at the moment, Microsoft is quiet on plans to release the Xbox Elite Series 3 Controller, even over a year on from the Xbox Series X and S's release.
But how long has it been since the popular Xbox Elite 2 controller was released?
Well, that gamepad actually came out on November 4, 2019, with the Series 1 releasing on October 1, 2015.
Of course, there is no official word on the Xbox Elite Series 3 controller specs, but we can make some informed predictions.
Alongside the inclusion of the share button that features on the newer Xbox controllers, we think we could even be looking at something fairly similar to the last iteration.
The price of the Elite Series 3 will likely hit around $180 - $200 by our estimates, based on the fact that the Elite Series 2 goes for around the $179.99 mark (although it is often on sale, thankfully!)”
Series S: The Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S (collectively, the Xbox Series X/S[b]) are home video game consoles developed by Microsoft. They were both released on November 10, 2020, as the fourth generation of the Xbox console family, succeeding the Xbox One. Along with Sony's PlayStation 5, also released in November 2020, the Xbox Series X and Series S are part of the ninth generation of video game consoles.[3]
Rumors regarding the consoles first emerged in early 2019, with the line as a whole codenamed "Scarlett" and consisting of high-end and lower-end models codenamed "Anaconda" as well as "Lockhart" respectively. Internally, Microsoft had been satisfied with the two-console approach for the Xbox One and planned a similar approach for the fourth generation Xbox, with the target for the high-end model to at least double the performance of the Xbox One X. The high-end model was first teased during E3 2019 under the title "Project Scarlett", while its name and design as Xbox Series X was unveiled during The Game Awards later in December. On September 8, 2020, Microsoft unveiled the lower-end model, the Xbox Series S.
The Xbox Series X has higher-end hardware and supports higher display resolutions (up to 8K resolution), along with higher frame rates and real-time ray tracing; it also has a high-speed solid-state drive (SSD) to reduce loading times. The less expensive Xbox Series S uses the same CPU, but has a less powerful GPU, has less memory and internal storage, and lacks an optical drive. Both consoles are designed to support nearly all Xbox One games, controllers and accessories, including those games from older Xbox consoles supported by Xbox One's backwards compatibility. At launch, Microsoft positioned their first-party games and several third-party games to be available for both Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One to help transition between generations, providing the "Smart Delivery" distribution framework to freely provide further optimizations of an Xbox One game for either the Xbox Series X or Series S. The consoles are also compatible with the gaming subscription service Xbox Game Pass, as well as the cloud game-streaming platform Xbox Cloud Gaming.
