Microsoft has acknowledged that Xbox Elite Controller Series 2, the new premium controller of the American company rated in this house as “the best in the market”, has a small hardware problem that they are already investigating. According to Windows Central, a small group of users is reporting a setback in the experience of using the remote. Microsoft promises to placate him.

In the absence of realizing what exactly it is, from the source they indicate that it is not one but two specific problems identified in some pieces of the device's hardware.
All Xbox One controllers will be compatible with Project Scarlett
It should be said that Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 is not a controller that will see its useful life end at the end of 2020, when Xbox Project Scarlett sees the light in stores next to games like Halo Infinite, but that both this and the rest of the controls currently available on Xbox One can be used without any update in the next generation. In this way, the backward compatibility of the games will also be applied to the peripherals.
Also, all Xbox Game Studios exclusive games that are intergenerational (cross-gen), such as Halo Infinite, will be updated completely free to Xbox Scarlett if we had already purchased it on Xbox One. There will be no "remastered" versions of the games , nor improved backward compatibility in these cases, but we will receive the native version of the new console without going through the box.
