Prior to its rumoured release the following week, a new Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S controller has been leaked. In other words, if this information is true, it should be formally announced soon. Before it is formally disclosed, it has, however, leaked. Additionally, you're in luck if you're looking for a purple controller. The new Xbox Series S and "Stellar Shift" Xbox Series X controller will allegedly be available from Microsoft on February 14th.
Xbox controllers have come in a variety of colours over the previous few years, with costs typically falling between $59.99 and $64.99. These controllers should not be confused with the Xbox Elite controller series, which provides far more features at a significantly higher cost. These controllers are simply modifications of the original Xbox controllers. The breach was caused by the multiple regional Amazon versions. According to Amazon Spain, the controller will be offered to start on February 14. According to Amazon Italy, it will make its debut on February 17. Despite the different release dates, both have the same controller leaks that show off their purple appearance.
Stellar Shift will be the most recent blue Xbox controller. Microsoft has previously offered Xbox controllers in the colours Shock Blue, Mineral Camo Blue, and Aqua Shift Blue. Aqua Shift is a lighter shade of blue with a more metallic sheen than Shock Blue, which is a darker shade. According to the leaked photos, the Stellar Shift's blue colour will probably fall in the middle of the hues of the current blue controllers.

Xbox controllers with the shades of blue Mineral Camo, Aqua Shift, and Shock have all previously been made available by Microsoft. While Aqua Shift is lighter and more metallic in tone, Shock Blue is a deeper shade of blue. The Stellar Shift's blue colour will probably fall somewhere in the middle of the blue controllers now in use, according to the leaked photographs.
Given that it is already February 6, the controller should be formally announced shortly. Even if it wasn't going to be announced right away—possibly it was supposed to be a stealth release—the leak might still affect and hasten these preparations. Microsoft will likely continue to release several controller models for Xbox in the coming months and years. There may be limited edition Xbox controllers themed after businesses and video game franchises in addition to the standard colour changes. There's no reason to believe that Xbox will ever stop using these marketing crossovers any time soon—in fact, it has already produced a sizable number of customised Xbox systems and controllers.
Of course, it's also important to note that Xbox users have the opportunity, if they so choose, to create their controllers. The Xbox Design Lab enables users to completely customise their hardware by allowing them to change every aspect of their controllers, right down to the button colours.
