Should The Next Xbox Controller Support AA Batteries Again?

We did it again in 2021 when a Duracell spokesperson seemed to suggest that a “constant agreement” was in place between the company and Microsoft to use AA batteries, and the poll results were very much along the same lines.

It remains to be seen when we’ll be getting the next generation of Xbox controller(s) from Microsoft, but whenever that redesign is formally unveiled, its going to be fascinating to see whether they’re sticking with AA batteries again, especially considering both PlayStation and Nintendo have shied away from AAs for well over a decade at this point.

So, let’s run this poll once more! Below, tell us your thoughts about whether Xbox should support AA batteries in the next official controller design, and feel free to elaborate in the comments section.
