In June 2023, a rumor spread on Twitter and other social media platforms that claimed a video game controller was used to operate a missing submersible intended for exploring the deep-sea remains of the RMS Titanic. The latter struck an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean on April 14, 1912, and then sunk in the early morning hours on the following day, killing around 1,500 people.
