Nobody knows much about the Xbox Series X. There’s a lot of speculation floating around every day as to when the Series X will be released.
Xbox is still maintaining its stance saying it will come out on “Holiday 2020”. Yesterday, on Twitter, a post went viral. During E3 2019, “Project Scarlett” was announced by Xbox. This took the form of Series X, later. The rumored ‘Project Lockhart’ was almost confirmed yesterday by the tweet. Have a look,

This particular Xbox user seems to have something that isn’t, technically, out in the markets yet. The new Xbox controller, that too in a ‘Robot White’ color, unlike the usual black. The user claims that he got the controller from OfferUp for $35. He did post an unboxing video and a series of other posts to convince the social media platform that it was an original.

What is interesting is not the controller but the manual. The manual confirms which all platforms this particular controller is compatible with, and it visibly says “Xbox Series X/S”. This is all the confirmation that was needed. It is to be noted that Xbox remains absolutely silent on ‘Project Lockhart’.
