Microsoft announced at GamesCom 2015 that Windows 10 in Xbox One will include a few more features including new Elite wireless controller.
The new hardware accessory has been hinted even before the gaming event. It is dubbed as an elite controller for a reason, since the flexibility and capability for customization has been tailored for the more hardcore gamers, Microsoft announced via the Xbox Wire.
Apart from various configurations, it also features interchangeable parts, a sleek design for long-time use and software customization to give more extensive control to gamers.
Also on the note of new hardware, Microsoft has also unveiled the Xbox Chatpad. This is basically the keyboard matched for the Xbox One and Windows 10, with the added bonus of audio control. The Xbox Elite controller will be out on October, while the Xbox Chatpad will be out by middle of next year. However, both are already up for preorders.
More than the hardware, each part of the Xbox One experience will also change in different ways once the Windows 10 hits, AnandTech reports. The most noticeable is the migration of the interface design from the previous Windows 8 to the sleeker Windows 10 UI. Included in this experience is Cortana, who will be assisting in language inputs and making the Kinect a more user-friendly and exciting to use
OneGuide will serve a bigger purpose once the Xbox One get the VR function, where it will enable players to access different shows and even discover new ones.
Fans that are eagerly waiting for the Windows 10 integration with the Xbox One need not wait any longer. It will be coming to all Xbox One owners in November. Xbox One preview members get the advantage of sampling the new interface and other features of the Windows 10 as early as September.
