Thanks to @Xbox for sending over this Helix care package!! Was very surprised I got one. Really looking forward to learning more about Project Helix and the direction @asha_shar takes Xbox in. #Xbox

@ClassicalTech3 @Fly1ngSqu1rr3l Confirming we did have a 5th color at Xfest (yellow/gold). Not sure about the config letter for that one, or what that mysterious 6th config would be. Perhaps an unreleased test config.

@shieldsjames @Fly1ngSqu1rr3l Ah thank you - are you sure orange would be the rarest? I have seen a lot of them, and only 1 pink, 1 blue, and only a few green. These look great though!

Xbox One Xfest dev controllers. Here we have 4 configs, each with a different color Dpad/triggers and config letter inside the battery cover. Pink is the rarest, followed by Blue, green, and Orange being the most common. Orange Config-B Green Config-C Blue Config-D Pink Config-F

@ClassicalTech3 Tagging @Fly1ngSqu1rr3l because I can’t quite remember! Maybe there was a yellow/gold one. I remember orange being the rarest. We’ll have this written down in an email somewhere :)

@shieldsjames Hi! Would you know what xfest 18’ Config A and E are? I have B, C,D and F so far. Any others?

@JezCorden Gonna need proof, Jez 😂

@Margrnwjr @thebastionx Looks like the original post was deleted so I don’t see what you’re referring to. Can you give me more context?

@thebastionx @shieldsjames any chance we could be getting a fix for the loud analog stick issue in a revision?

Finished up Vampire Crawlers yesterday. Highly recommended! I don’t know how they did it, but it’s more addictive than Vampire Survivors 😅

Game Pass Ultimate has become too expensive for too many players. Starting today, we’re dropping the price from $29.99 to $22.99/month. Future Call of Duty titles will no longer join Game Pass Ultimate on day one. They will join this tier the following holiday after launch (about a year later). Current Call of Duty titles will remain available to Ultimate subscribers. We’ll keep learning and evolving Game Pass to better match what matters to players. xbx.lv/4cWO9hR
