Microsoft unveils the Proteus Controller, a modular controller designed to enhance accessibility for Xbox gamers with disabilities.

The Proteus Controller is developed by ByoWave and is part of the Designed for Xbox program, retailing at $299.

Featuring over 100 configurations, the controller's small cubes with interchangeable faceplates allow customization, including LED lighting options.

Compatibility is confirmed for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 and 11, but not for PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch.

Pre-orders are open at a promotional price of $255, with shipping projected for the upcoming fall season.

Microsoft also plans to release a firmware update expanding the Xbox Adaptive Controller's accessory support, initially to Xbox Insiders.

These initiatives are announced in conjunction with Global Accessibility Awareness Day, highlighting Xbox's dedication to accessible gaming.
