Cloud Gaming Controller Not Dead After All, Microsoft Insists

Microsoft's cloud gaming efforts have been making waves in recent years, but it appears that one of its plans may have fallen by the wayside. According to a report from The New York Times, Microsoft canceled plans for a new Xbox controller specifically designed for cloud gaming.

A spokesperson for Microsoft denied this claim, stating that the controller concept was not abandoned due to regulatory concerns surrounding its acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

However, sources told Windows Central that rumors of the controller's cancellation are false, and that there are no plans to slow down Xbox Cloud Gaming. This news comes as a relief for fans of cloud gaming, which allows users to stream games without the need for expensive local hardware like an Xbox or PC.
