During the last few days, rumors have been floating around regarding a new Xbox One controller. As it seems the leaks were real, but little has changed to the original. The main new addition appears to be a 3.5mm headphone jack, similar to the one in the DS4 controller for the PlayStation 4. The new controller has a unique color scheme titled " Covert Forces".
The controller seems to be pretty much identical, save the addition of the headphone jack and the new color scheme.

The unique color scheme might be related to a new game and part of a promotion or something similarly relevant.
