After the Xbox touch controller patent was exposed, it was made clear that the registration was not actually done by Microsoft. It actually belongs to Turtle Beach, which is exploring the possibility of releasing a peripheral with these features. So it is not an internal Microsoft project.

original note:

PS5 DualSense technology has attracted the attention of many gamers. So some people think Xbox should compete with a similar console, or at least with new technology and innovative features. Apparently, Microsoft has a secret project that could make this dream come true.

An Xbox patent has surfaced showing strange touchscreen controls. This item will allow players to access custom settings and their social networks quickly and easily. Moreover, it will allow users to track their performance in their favorite games.

Xbox can power a console with new screen and features

According to the patent, the console will have a touch screen in the central part. From there you can access configuration profiles, audio options, and various tools such as social networks.

Also, it will display the remaining battery percentage, username, and other useful items. As if that weren’t enough, it will have an option so that players can measure their performance in some way. The patent indicates that the remote will have some kind of communication with mobile devices through a dedicated app.

This idea may sound familiar to you, as ASUS recently introduced an Xbox console with an OLED screen. However, everything indicates that the patent points to another project in the direct hands of Microsoft.

It is important to clarify that the company has not confirmed a project of this type and patents are not always realized. Although, it should be noted that Phil Spencer praised the DualSense technology and suggested that Xbox update its controller. Below you can see the patent image.
