A new patent from Microsoft hints that Xbox controller designs may finally change in the future. The main innovation of the controller will be the built-in display, which will significantly expand the controls and functionality of the device itself.
From the description of the patent, it follows that the display in the gamepad will be necessary for comfortable connection to different devices. The screen will be placed right in the center of the controller above the D-pad, which will partially repeat the design of the DualSense for PlayStation 5. According to the engineers, the display will be able to display favorite notifications, as well as allow you to easily switch between the console and cloud services.
The built-in screen in the Xbox controller can be used for other purposes. Probably, with its help, Microsoft will replicate the functionality of the touchpad on the PlayStation gamepads. The new design still includes the Xbox button, as well as the traditional pause and menu buttons, which have been moved down between the control sticks.
