A new Xbox One controller leaked just yesterday ahead of a new episode of Inside Xbox and fans are freaking out and already calling it the best controller released on the system to date.

The see-through look instantly called to many gamers’ nostalgia, something that Sony themselves are well aware of with their own brand of muted controllers. But Xbox didn’t just take the see-through aesthetic at face value, they modified the look in a way that made the already stunning controller even better with an ombre effect and clean white design.

I haven’t bought a new Xbox One controller in a while, and that may have to change.
Looks like Xbox is going to announce a new ‘Phantom White’ Xbox One controller tomorrow

A big reason so many love it too is because Microsoft previously offered a black version, but the melt didn’t seem as fluid. The crisp color and less dramatic color contrast gives it a much cleaner look while also offering Xbox One players more options to choose from.
