Major Nelson has unveiled more details about the highly anticipated Xbox One Special Edition Covert Forces Wireless Controllers as well as revealing the new Xbox One 1TB console.
Enhanced Features of the Xbox One Wireless Controller
The new Xbox One Wireless Controller is now equipped with a 3.5mm stereo jack that enables gamers to plug a headset directly into the controller. This feature is a significant upgrade, as it allows for a more streamlined and immersive gaming experience. Gamers no longer need to connect their headsets to the console itself, which can be cumbersome and limit mobility.
Additionally, the controller provides options to adjust the headset volume, mic monitoring, and voice and game audio balance through the Settings menu on your console. This level of customization ensures that gamers can tailor their audio experience to their preferences, enhancing both solo and multiplayer gaming sessions. For instance, players can increase the game audio to hear subtle in-game sounds or adjust the voice chat volume to better communicate with teammates during intense multiplayer matches.
Details on the Xbox One 1TB Console
The Xbox One 1TB console will start shipping to retailers on June 16th, 2015, throughout the US and then at select markets later this month. In the US, the 1TB console will be priced at $399. This new model offers double the storage capacity of the standard 500GB console, providing ample space for gamers to store their favorite games, downloadable content, and media files. With the increasing size of game installations and updates, the additional storage is a welcome enhancement for avid gamers.
Starting today, the $349 price on all standard Xbox One 500GB consoles will be permanent, announced Microsoft. This price adjustment makes the Xbox One more accessible to a broader audience, allowing more gamers to experience the console’s extensive library of games and entertainment features.
Microsoft also announced that from the fall of this year, gamers will be able to purchase the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows. This adapter supports using the wireless controller on Windows 10 PCs, laptops, and tablets, expanding the versatility of the Xbox One controller. The Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows is priced at $24.99 and is also bundled with an Xbox One Wireless Controller for $79.95. This bundle offers a convenient and cost-effective solution for gamers who want to use their Xbox One controller across multiple devices.
The introduction of the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows is particularly beneficial for PC gamers who prefer the feel and functionality of the Xbox One controller. It allows for seamless integration with Windows 10, providing a consistent gaming experience across platforms. Whether playing the latest AAA titles or enjoying classic PC games, the adapter ensures that gamers can use their preferred controller without any hassle.
