New Xbox Accessories: Is Microsoft Set to Unveil a Game-Changing Headset and Controller?

There is a persistent rumor circulating that a new Xbox controller and a mysterious headset reveal is imminent. Microsoft and Sony are known to release new accessories for their consoles frequently, and it appears that Microsoft is working on a headset to accompany an Xbox controller that has been spotted in a viral image online.

With Xbox experiencing a lull in exclusive game releases, many players are eagerly anticipating the release of Bethesda's Starfield, which will be the first RPG from the studio under Xbox's ownership. Recently, PlayStation held a showcase that revealed several titles and provided more details on others, while Xbox is set to have its own show next month filled with announcements. As many recent Xbox game releases have been accompanied by unique controller designs, such as the customizable Redfall ones, some players speculate that the highly anticipated game Starfield will also receive its own gamepad.

Last month, the gaming community was buzzing with excitement over a Starfield-themed controller that was revealed to the public. Fans were eagerly anticipating the release of the unique controller, which features sci-fi details and the Starfield colors near the central Xbox button. According to rumors, the controller, codenamed Ogden, will cost $79.99, which is consistent with the pricing of similar controllers that have already been released. But the excitement doesn't stop there - there are whispers that a wireless headset, dubbed Orren, with the same color scheme as the controller, will also be released. The headset is said to retail for $124.99, and it's sure to be a hit with gamers who want to fully immerse themselves in the Starfield universe.

While the Starfield Xbox Series X/S controller has already made its way online, the Orren headset has been relatively less discussed, with only a brief mention from K. Asante on the Xbox Era podcast. However, reports suggest that both the Ogden and Orren Xbox Series X/S accessories will be available in the US and Europe, indicating a wider release around the launch of Starfield. Despite not being officially introduced by Xbox yet, gamers are speculating that the Ogden and Orren will make an appearance during the June Xbox Game Showcase, which is expected to provide more Starfield footage.

Unlike previous Bethesda releases, there hasn't been a themed controller or headset to accompany the launch. As a result, many long-time fans of the studio have expressed their excitement over the leaked image of the controller. Additionally, many Bethesda fans have already created custom Fallout controllers in celebration of the games that have already been released. This could be an indication of the potential success of the Ogden and Orren, which might be limited-edition items.
