In a recent leak from data miner billbil-kun, the new Forza Motorsport controller will be officially called the Xbox Stormcloud Vapor Wireless Controller. This leak confirms this controller to be the earlier controller code-named ‘Jemez’. Furthermore, the data miner revealed the controller will come out in public on August 8.

The controller will cost $69.99 in the United States. The data miner also predicts that the controller will be available for sale on October 10th, when Forza Motorsport comes out. The controller will still not be having haptic feedback, something that PlayStation controllers have.
However, fans should take all this information with a grain of salt. Some fans are skeptical of this leak because the last Forza Horizon 5 controller came out in 2021 and cost $74.99. This has left fans wondering about the $5 price cut made by Xbox. However, this is not all the fans are wary about, as they have some concerns regarding Forza Motorsport.
Fans disappointed with Forza Motorsport missing some features
Forza Motorsport is gearing up for an October 10 launch. However, the title will not be coming with fan-favorite Drag or Drift events. The developers at Turn 10 Studios are focusing on delivering the base game first. The devs will start working on the events after the base game comes out on Xbox consoles.
