According to a source who often reveals secret data before it is announced, the next Xbox controller will be called the Nocturnal Vapor. They believe it will be released in April, possibly in the first half of the month. This new controller could be a powerful competitor to Sony’s DualSense, a PlayStation controller.
Normally, new Microsoft controllers are not leaked until a few weeks before their release. But this one was different. It was leaked online back in September 2023. This occurred as a result of a mistake by the Federal Trade Commission, a government agency.
During a legal battle over Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, they mistakenly leaked some secret Microsoft documents. These docs displayed the controller’s black-and-white appearance and stated that it would include haptic feedback, similar to the DualSense. The records also indicated the secret name, Sebile.
New Xbox Controller Release Date
Dealabs’ Billbil-kun says the new accessory will be called the Nocturnal Vapor. This suggests it will be part of the Vapor line of Xbox controllers. Microsoft released the Vapor controllers in late January and early February 2024.
The price for the Nocturnal Vapor is said to be $69.99, the same as the other Vapor controllers. Pre-orders are expected to start on April 2, according to the same source. Microsoft usually starts pre-orders when they announce new controllers.

The leaker thinks the Nocturnal Vapor will likely be available on April 9. Although this information isn’t official, Billbil-kun has a good reputation for leaking Microsoft hardware details. They previously leaked the name and release date of the Xbox Stormcloud Vapor controller, along with many other Xbox accessories.
