Next-gen Xbox controller has a share button

Microsoft just revealed its new next-gen console, the Xbox Series X, and it comes with an upgraded controller with some nifty features.

Project Scarlett is now officially called Xbox Series X, aka the console that "eats monsters for breakfast" and hits 4K 60FPS and (maybe even 120FPS) in its games. Microsoft's made some pretty big promises with the Series X and its enthusiast-grade power, but there's some smaller quality-of-life improvements too, like the new controller.

The next-gen Xbox Series X will be accompanied by a new Xbox controller that sports a share button for easy screenshots. This is absolutely huge for Microsoft and gives a direct way to share footage and images right on social media. And it's backward compatible with the Xbox One and supports Windows 10 PCs to boot.

Alongside Xbox Series X, we also unveiled the new Xbox Wireless Controller. Its size and shape have been refined to accommodate an even wider range of people, and it also features a new Share button to make capturing screenshots and game clips simple and an advanced d-pad derived from the Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller.

The new Xbox Wireless Controller will be compatible with Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs, and will be included with every Xbox Series X.

Taking screenshots on the Xbox One was a total nightmare in 2013 (you had to literally export images to Outlook), and it's really not so good now. There's no need to buy the Series X controller though--the next-gen system is totally backward compatible with all last-gen peripherals.

Xbox Series X is due out by Holiday 2020.
