Xbox One controller could get a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack in June

The standard 3.5 mm headphone jack has been one of our favorite features on the PlayStation 4, letting us easily pump game and chat audio through standard headsets without the need for proprietary connectors. Now it looks like Microsoft may be aping this feature with an updated controller that could launch as soon as next month.

Last night, the Internet at large noticed an update to the controller description page on the Xbox Support site, which included mention of a new "3.5-mm port" located right next to the current "expansion port" on the bottom of the controller. The new jack is "used to connect compatible 3.5-mm audio devices" and is "only available on controllers released after June 2015," according to the listing.

As of this morning, the support page in question has been reverted to remove any mention of the 3.5 mm jack, but the info is still available on Google's cache of the page (screenshotted above for posterity).
