Recently, Microsoft announced a partnership with Bang & Olufsen for high-end gaming audio peripherals. Now, in preparation for the Xbox Series X, more peripheral license partners are joining up, with the latest being Nacon, best known for third-party game controllers.

Nacon, previously known as Bigben Interactive, is a French gaming company that has been around for decades. Previously, Nacon has worked with the likes of SEGA and Atari, in addition to third-party controllers for PlayStation consoles and PC. Now, Nacon also has a global license to produce peripherals for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC.

Nacon's partnership with Microsoft seems like a natural path for the company, although the first Xbox-branded products are still due to be announced. In the meantime, Nacon will still be shipping games and various other peripherals, ranging from headsets and microphones to controllers and chairs.

Apple is believed to be working on a game controller for the 2020 Apple TV to promote its Arcade gaming service. The upcoming Apple TV is expected to feature an A12X Bionic processor, which should provide the necessary levels of performance for smooth gaming.  

The gaming industry has a worldwide estimated annual revenue of almost $200 billion per year, so it's only natural for companies like Apple to want a slice of the action. Apple announced its Arcade gaming subscription service last year, and to further support gaming on its devices it is believed that Apple is developing a game controller to be used with its Apple TV.

According to the Twitter user Jioriku, the controller could be released during Apple's WWDC event later today, adding that the Apple TV 6 is an “absolute powerhouse of a machine” with its A12X Bionic chip. Despite using the A12X-chip, it seems like Apple is sticking to its previous design of the small “black box everyone had come to love”.
