In January 2023, Statista reported that more than 74% of desktop systems around the world were Windows. While a lot of these are surely work-dedicated systems, millions more were likely designed with gaming in mind. Fortunately, Windows makes it a snap to connect Xbox Controllers to a Windows PC.
There are several ways to do it. With an official Xbox Wireless Adapter, up to eight controllers can be connected at once. Users need only insert the USB device into their PC and pair the controller to it. Upon inserting the Xbox USB adapter, the PC may need to install files initially, but it shouldn’t take long. After that, hold down the pairing button on the Xbox USB adapter until the LED starts flashing, then hold down the pairing button on the Xbox controller.
Alternatively, a direct USB connection can be used to link the controller with the PC. For newer Core controllers, you will need a USB Type-C cable, but older controllers still used micro-USB as well.
Some Xbox Wireless Controllers have Bluetooth capacity as well (those bundled with Xbox Series X and S have this by default). In this case, simply press and hold the Pair button on the controller until the Xbox light starts blinking, then enter “Bluetooth & Devices” from the Settings menu on Windows 11 (Bluetooth from the Devices settings menu on Window 10). Click “Add A Device” from there, and the controller can be paired via Bluetooth.
