Better yet, the Xbox reporter says that it will improve on the current model by &#8220;leaps and bounds&#8221;, whenever it eventually comes out.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I also have it on good authority that Microsoft is working on a successor to the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2, assumedly called the Series 3, that will modernize and improve the offering leaps and bounds over the current model.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Back in April, Corden mentioned that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/news\/2025\/04\/rumour-xbox-working-on-three-controller-prototypes-including-the-elite-series-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">three new Xbox controllers are being prototyped right now at Microsoft HQ<\/a>, including an Elite Series 3. At the time, Corden said that we might not see the next Elite pad until a new Xbox console launches, but in this new article, an Xbox Games Showcase 2025 reveal has been speculated on.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Microsoft has revealed new controller models in and around their E3-styled showcases in the past, so perhaps now&#8217;s a good time for the Series 3 to debut? Time will tell.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Just as Corden says there, only time will tell us when Microsoft actually goes ahead and reveals this thing &#8211; but the Windows Central writer does seem pretty confident that an Xbox Elite Series 3 is in the works in some fashion. There&#8217;s now less than two weeks to go until this year&#8217;s Xbox Games Showcase &#8211; which airs on June 8th, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Will you buy an Elite Series 3 if and when it happens?
