Yesterday, we received an email from Microsoft’s PR representative, informing us of Microsoft’s plans for Xbox products in the Southeast Asia (SEA) region. The company talked about the success of PC Game Pass and showcased some games from studios in the SEA region. But the most important part of the news is that they will be bringing in Xbox products here.
Jeremy Hinton, Microsoft’s Asia Business Director said that they will be bringing in Xbox wired and wireless controllers to Malaysia, as well as Indonesia and the Philippines. The company didn’t say when it will happen or how much it’s going to cost.
What we do know is that Microsoft will be bringing in basic Xbox controllers according to Lowyat.net. Which mean no special editions, fancy colours and Xbox Elite controllers. But those might come in the future.
Does this mean the Xbox controllers that you purchased here is fake? No. If you purchase them from reputable sellers, those controllers are original, but the warranty are not covered by Microsoft because those are imported by the sellers.
If you are hoping for Microsoft to bring in Xbox Series S/X to Malaysia, the company didn’t say anything about that, so we guess that isn’t going to happen anytime soon.
