Rumors of an updated version of Microsoft’s Xbox Elite Wireless Controller have been circulating for months, and the latest one points to a release this fall. The Verge Senior Editor Tom Warren tweeted yesterday that a new $149 Xbox controller codenamed “Washburn” is due out in October.
Though Warren never specifically called this controller “Elite,” it’s a pretty safe bet that this is what he was referring to, given that the $149 price tag he mentioned is the MSRP of the existing Elite Wireless Controller.
