Microsoft appears to be removing the expansion port from its latest Xbox Wireless Controllers. The change affects new hardware models including the Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition and the Elite Controller Series 3.
Leaked photos show Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition and Elite Series 3 lack accessory slot
Leaked photos of the Elite Controller Series 3 show a physical design that lacks the accessory slot found on previous generations. The removal also impacts compatibility with popular third-party accessories like the Chat Pad.
Microsoft has not officially confirmed the hardware change or provided details about the new controller model identifiers. Industry observers note this shift may signal a move toward simplified peripheral ecosystems for future Xbox gaming.
The company continues to support existing controllers through software updates while phasing out legacy accessory compatibility.
