Microsoft has released a new video showcasing the new Xbox Wireless Controller model that will replace the existing version when it releases alongside the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles in November.

The main focus of the video is the new Share button which allows gamers to take a screenshot with a quick tap or record video with a longer press.

The function is identical to the existing method which can be activated by voice commands or via the tapping of the X and Y buttons after opening up the system menu, it simply gives people a quicker physical option.

Here’s the video:

The new Xbox Wireless Controller will release in a black, blue, and white option and will support Windows 10 computers, smartphones, and both Xbox One and Xbox Series X console generations. The Share button will also work on both gens as long as the latest operating system update is installed.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
