Report: Xbox To Unveil Starfield Controller & Headset At Games Showcase 2023

Fantastic I can't wait to see all the youtubers and influences get there hands on one whilst the majority of gamers will get the sold out notification indefinitely

Well i was sort of right when i said we would get new hardware for the fall. I was asking in another chat if we thought we might get the Elite 3 info drop or a new standard controller with more features as Phil has said they would like to do. I guess it could be SF accessories instead. Could be cool.

I am kinda hoping the controller was not a model but similar to the Redfall approach: options on design lab, so we can buy at leisure and customize, not have to rush under FOMO..

Are they finally going to include a gyro?

Pretty annoying pretty much every controller on the market, even my old steam controller, has gyro aiming, except my Xbox controllers.

Sweet. Different colored plastic. Innovation continues.

They should do a controller showcase where they show off all their new controller designs coming out in the next six months.

And a headset? Ohhhh I hope it's that same design as the official Xbox headset. I like how it has the mic arm on an extruding piece of cheap plastic that easily breaks.

I need a Starfield Series X.

I know it's become a meme that all Xbox does is unveil new controllers....but.....it's actually kind of funnier now that one of Sony's highlights is their new controller that looks like it's one of those bizarre "PS4 as a WiiU" prototypes people mocked up on the internet in 2013 except it's actually real.

@Fishticon only one showcase, or a showcase each week for them?

Seriously miss the days when all the marketing was inside a cereal box…

Sweet. Just what we need, yet another new paint job. Add that to the other 800 or so already released. All I really want is a wireless 8bitdo Pro 2 for Xbox.

@NEStalgia I hope a Starfield controller comes loaded with a patent Todd Howard Starfield gyro. So, a gyro, but it's mostly broken.

@SplooshDmg Only works when moving it left. Except sometimes it's when moving it right-diagonal-up. It just works!

@NEStalgia Seriously, though. Imagine how much better Bethesda games would be on console with a gyro?

@SplooshDmg I think basically EVERY game is better on a console with a gyro. That's one thing I'm forever mad at Xbox about. I simply expected "Project Scarlet" would arrive with a gyro controller. They're 2 gens late to the party. It's just tragic they don't have one, yet equally tragic that while PS has one, virtually nothing actually enables it.

@NEStalgia I guess Skyrim on Switch has gyro support, and that alone makes me want to buy it for the fifth time.

@SplooshDmg You only up to 4? Ur doing it rong.

@NEStalgia I had to think about it. PS3, PS4, Xbox One and PC. So Switch would be five. I almost bought it for my Samsung refrigerator, but decided against it.

@SplooshDmg What about Skyrim for Amazon Alexa?

I do love me a Special Edition Controller, hoping it looks good

@InterceptorAlpha so good for driving games - kind of halfway to a wheel. It took me so long to adjust, moving from PS4.

@Eejay I personally have a wheel.

I just want it for shooters. My switch, PS4, and Steam controller all have them. And using the latter on Battlefield 4 in 4k is so nice
