Xbox celebrates Pride Month

LGBTQIA+ players will soon be able to get a controller that more closely embodies their identity. Last year, Xbox produced a limited batch of Pride controllers and shared it with LGBTQIA+ players and creators around the world. While the response to the controller was positive, many asked Xbox to make it universally available.

Today, via Xbox Wire, Xbox announced a new, customizable Xbox Pride Controller, which brings together 34 community flags in a fine, interwoven manner to celebrate the intersectionality and strength of the many LGBTQIA+ communities. It will be available for purchase via the Xbox Design Lab starting June 9 and will be available year-round.

Alleged Pixel 7 prototype spotted on eBay

Source: eBay listing (now delisted)

Google teased the Pixel 7 series months before it planned to launch the phone. And we're not surprised that they did, especially since the leaks are coming in and an alleged phone prototype has already been spotted online. A likely prototype of the Pixel 7 has been posted on eBay. It has since been sold (or at least the listing has been closed), but it matches the look of what Google has already shared.
