Yesterday, we reported that the Xbox Series X Robot White controller had leaked, accidentally revealing the existence of the Xbox Series S in the process, and now it looks like even more people are getting their hands on it - as evidenced by this recently posted unboxing video on YouTube (skip to 00:35 to bypass the overly long intro).
We're not sure how long this will remain live, but for now, you can get a good look at the box and the controller itself, as well as some side-by-side comparisons with various other Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo controllers.
What do you think of the new design after watching this video? Let us know in the comments below.

Well, if it ain't broke..!
Now why would someone leak the Gamepass code instead?
Could have given us an little over view.
Ie. Triggers and bumpers have grip on.
Back of controller have any type of grip.
He could have shown the controller still, I don't need to see him pushing buttons and moving the controller all the time 😅.
Microsoft just needs to announce this thing already.
XSX will probably be $500, which is fine since it is way more powerful than the PS5 (which will also probably be $500).
Then they can announce the Series S at $300 and end all this speculation.
It is confusing as hell how on earth so many of these are doing the rounds so openly. If it isn't something planned by Microsoft then how are they out there? is the plan to release it next week !?
@BrilliantBill It's definitely quite odd. I remember working at GAME during the launch of PS4/Xbox One and we started receiving the hardware and accessories around 1-2 weeks prior to launch day.
@Olliemar28 And even if the plan is to release the Series S like in a few weeks it will be DOA. What are it's launch games? we are in a release drought of sorts until November.
Well that would shake up the generation....pull a Sega, as the true spiritual successor of Sega consoles anyway, and announce in the August showcase "XSeX and XSeS available today after the showcase!"
In reality I'm assuming the controllers are backward compatible with X1, so they're probably just replacing all controller production with the new ones.
They announced Elite 2 ages ago. And as far as I can tell there's no real difference between X1 and XSeX controllers short of one extra special button. Aren't they all cross compatible?
@BrilliantBill X1X is no longer available, so the sooner they launch the sooner anyone that wants an X1X gets one via XSeX/XSeS. Right now they have no premium console except the anemic X1S to sell. Wouldn't surprise me if the accelerated the time table to replace the long-discontinued and unavailable 1X. "Launch drought" doesn't matter much when it's really the prime option for current gen games as well and is future proof to boot.
@NEStalgia Exactly. Because the only Xbox console available now is Xbox One S, many people can't wait for Series S or Series X to be available, even if it's for playing Cyberpunk, Assassin's Creed or older first-party games.
