Redesigned Xbox Wireless Adapter Delayed
Microsoft's Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 PCs was supposed to be out already, but the company has delayed the device into 2018.
The adapter ($24.99) lets PC gamers hook up to eight Xbox controllers wirelessly at once. There is a device that currently does this, but the new product is smaller.
The company's web store lists a new release date of January 31, 2018, which could be placeholder. You can get it before then, however, if you live outside of the U.S. or Canada. Regions like Japan and Australia are getting it this fall.

Our Take
It's not an essential device, but the news is disappointing nevertheless. It's strange that the device is clearly being manufactured and is ready to go, but has been pulled from specific territories.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
