At the time of writing, there is no official confirmed release date for Elite Series 3 controller, but in this article, you’ll find all (if any) information that the developer shared, as well as some speculation from Ginx on when we could see it launch.

However, after the success of the Elite Series 2 controller, it is more than likely that the Xbox Elite Series 3 controller will release before the end of the Xbox Series X/S's lifespan.

Furthermore, considering the Xbox Elite Series 2 is nearly three years old, it makes sense that an upgrade could be on the horizon. 

Xbox Elite Series 3 Controller Specs

The Elite Series 2 did manage to perfect almost everything when it comes to comfortable and optimal controller design. Therefore, there isn't much that the Elite Eries 3 could do to make a game-changing impact. 

While any number of adjustable toggles, tighter magnets, and more stick options would be great, the most significant thing we'd like to see is some weight reduction.

The Elite Series 2 is already quite heavy, and if possible, it would be great to make the next controller a little lighter. 

Xbox Elite Series 3 Controller Price

The Elite Series 2 costs approximately $130-200, depending on your retailer.

Therefore, it is realistic to expect that the Xbox Series 3 controller could cost anywhere between $200-$300.

So there you have it, everything we know so far about the Xbox Series 3 Elite controller. We will endeavor to update this article as soon as more information about its specs, release date, and price becomes available.
