The first gen controllers could also be updated, however they had to be connected to the Xbox One with a USB cable, so this should make it a lot easier to keep the controller firmware up to date. More subtle, but certainly notable, is that the bumpers have been tweaked, and the new controllers can now be updated wirelessly. The big change is that Microsoft has finally ditched the proprietary headset connector, and has now moved to the normal 3.5mm jack. As for the finish, I think the matte should be a good look and should help with dust and fingerprints.Īlso being announced today, and being bundled with the new Xbox, is an updated version of the wireless controller.

This is a small upgrade, but with the size of games getting larger and larger, it makes a lot of sense to offer the larger internal storage, even though the Xbox One did add the ability to use USB storage some time ago.

It will also feature a new matte black finish, with the original Xbox One being outfitted in a glossy exterior.

It will ship with a larger 1 TB hard drive, which is double the storage capacity of the original Xbox One. News comes from Redmond today that Microsoft will be offering a new model of Xbox One.
