One of the biggest questions surrounding Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox Nano Controller was whether the shrunk-down gamepad had rumble support, as the feature was conspicuously missing from any product pages or announcement.

Sadly, we’ve finally learned that it will not.

In a response to a user who asked if the Nano has a rumble function (vibration), the Xbox Germany X account said: “Hi! The Nano Controller does not have a vibration function.” (Thanks, Matteventu for the tip.)
