Leaked images from Brazil’s Anatel regulator appear to reveal Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox Elite 3 controller, showing a prototype design ahead of an expected 2026 release. The new gamepad retains the familiar Elite form but adds notable features like dual scroll wheels beneath the D-pad, interchangeable D-pads, and two new buttons likely for profile or mode switching. A compartment on the back suggests a removable battery, though it’s rated at 1,528mAh—smaller than the Elite 2’s 2,050mAh pack. Most notably, documentation references a new local/cloud mode toggle, aligning with a separate leak of a compact cloud gaming controller and pointing to Microsoft’s push for lower-latency Xbox Cloud Gaming experiences. While not officially confirmed, the leak adds credibility to rumors of a next-gen Elite refresh later this year.
