All three Xbox One models feature wireless controllers that can also be plugged in via USB. While there are two different main Xbox One controller designs, in addition to an Elite version, they're all compatible with all three types of Xbox One consoles. You can also sync a wireless Xbox One controller to a PC, but the best way to do it will depend on the version of Windows you have installed.

The basic steps involved in syncing an Xbox One controller are:

1. Turn on your Xbox One.

2. Turn on your controller.

3. Press the connect button on your Xbox.

4. Press and hold the connect button on your Xbox One controller.

5. Release the connect button on the controller when the Xbox button on the controller stops flashing.

Turn On Your Xbox One -


Turn your Xbox One on by pressing the Xbox button on the front. The button is located on the right side of the front of the console regardless of whether you have an Xbox One, Xbox One S or Xbox One X.

When the console has turned on, the button will illuminate. You can let go of the button and go to the next step.

Turn On Your Xbox One Controller -


Turn on your Xbox One controller by pressing on the Xbox button, which is located on the front of the controller, in the center, near the top. The button will illuminate when the controller is on.


If the button doesn't illuminate, make sure that you have batteries in the controller. If you don't have batteries, then proceed to step six for information about connecting an Xbox One controller via USB.

Press the Connect Button on Your Xbox One -


The connect button is what tells your Xbox One that you are trying to connect a controller. The specific location and appearance will depend on the type of Xbox One that you have.

Xbox One: The connect button is located around the corner from the slot where you insert games.

Xbox One S: The connect button is located on the front of the console, on the right side, below the power button.

Xbox One X: The connect button is located on the front of the console, on the right side, right next to the USB port.

Once you have located the connect button, press and release it.

Note : Make sure you have your Xbox One controller handy. After pressing the connect button on the Xbox One, you need to immediately proceed to the next step and complete it within 20 seconds.

Press the Connect Button on Your Xbox One Controller -


The connect button on your Xbox One controller lets the Xbox One know that it is ready to connect. It is located on the top of the controller, on the same side as the triggers and USB port.

Once you have located the connect button on your controller, press and hold it. The Xbox button on your controller will flash, which means it's looking for a console to connect to.

If your Xbox One controller successfully connects to your console, the Xbox button will stop flashing and remain lit. You can let go of the connect button and then go back to step three and repeat the process for any additional controllers that you want to connect.

Note : You must press the connect button on the Xbox One controller within 20 seconds of pressing the connect button on the Xbox One console. If you don't, you will have to start the process over again.

How to Sync an Xbox One Controller to a PC ?


The Xbox One controller is also a great way to play games on a PC. If you want to connect an Xbox One controller to your computer, the process will depend on how old the controller is.

Older Xbox One controllers require a special USB dongle. You can buy the dongle separately, and it also comes packaged with some Xbox One controllers.

To connect one of these controllers:

1. Insert the USB dongle into a USB port on your computer.

2. Turn on your Xbox One controller by pressing the Xbox button.

3. Press and release the connect button on the dongle.

4. Press and hold the connect button on your controller, and release it when the Xbox button stops flashing.

Newer Xbox One controllers can connect to a PC using the dongle or Bluetooth. To connect an Xbox One controller to your PC using Bluetooth:

1. Make sure you are running Windows 10 Anniversary Update on your PC. If you aren't, then you can't connect your controller via Bluetooth. Check out our guide to figuring out which version of Windows you have if you aren't sure.

2. Turn on your Xbox One controller by pushing the Xbox button.

3. Press the connect button on your controller for three seconds and then release it.

4. On your computer, click Start > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices.

5. Make sure that your computer has Bluetooth enabled.

6. Click Xbox Wireless Controller > Pair.

How to Connect an Xbox One Controller Via USB ?


You can also connect your Xbox One controller to an Xbox One console or a PC via USB, and it's an extremely easy two-step process:

1. Connect a micro USB cable to the port on the top of your controller. The port is next to the connect button.

2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into your Xbox One or PC.

The Quick Guide to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate


Learn all about Microsoft's game subscription service

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is a lot like Netflix for video games: Pay a monthly fee to subscribe to the service and receive access to hundreds of games for your Xbox One console as well as a PC.

What Is Xbox Game Pass Ultimate?


Game Pass Ultimate is an unlimited gaming subscription service for Xbox One consoles and PCs. It will also work with the new Xbox Series X and Series S consoles.

There are no limitations on how many games you can play each month and there are no restrictions. The games are the full titles, just like if you'd paid the full price for them. 

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also bundles in Xbox Live Gold so you can play these games online too and enjoy the multiplayer features available through them. Xbox Live Gold membership also gives Xbox One owners four free games per month which are usually a mixture of two Xbox One titles and two Xbox 360 or Xbox games. Gold subscribers also receive exclusive discounts every week on games from the Microsoft Store as well as other occasional discounts.

How Does Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Work?


Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is very simple. You pay a monthly subscription fee and you immediately gain access to a large library of Xbox One, PC, Xbox 360, and even original Xbox games that you can then play for free either on your Xbox One or PC

All you need to do is sign up for the service, look through the catalog either on your system or through the Xbox Game Pass app and choose to install as many games as you like. There's no limit and you can play the games for as long as they're available through the service. 

One thing that makes Xbox Game Pass Ultimate very different from something like Netflix is that you don't stream the games. Instead, you download them before playing them. If you have a poor internet connection speed, this may be an issue, especially if you have limited bandwidth from your ISP. You may also need to consider hard drive space on your Xbox One or PC and need to delete games before you can download new ones.

Otherwise, there are no restrictions implemented by Microsoft when it comes to how much you can download. 

Note : Games can leave the service. Once they do, you can't play them anymore unless you purchase them separately. Similarly, if your subscription expires, you no longer have access to the games you've downloaded, although you will retain any progress you've made so you can return to them if you choose to resubscribe. 

All games on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate can be purchased at a 10% discount if you prefer to own a game you particularly love rather than rely on the subscription model.

How Much Does Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Cost?


Xbox Game Pass Ultimate costs $14.99 per month directly from Microsoft. Special offers are often available through the Microsoft Store and you're also able to buy redemption keys from various third-party sellers to bring costs down further. 

What's the Difference Between Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Game Pass?


When considering Xbox Game Pass vs Game Pass Ultimate, there are some key differences depending on how you game. 

Xbox Game Pass only provides games for free on an Xbox One. It doesn't offer the same service for the PC so if you're solely interested in playing games on your Xbox One, this may be a better option. 

However, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also includes Xbox Live Gold which as mentioned allows you to play games online in multiplayer with friends and other players. Subscribe to just Xbox Game Pass and you won't have access to these services. For online gamers, it's better to upgrade to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. 

What Games Are Available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate? 


Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offers over two hundred games on both PC and Xbox One. These include a large selection of brand new games as well as popular classics. 

Games developed by Microsoft (known as first-party games) launch on the service the day they're released so you get immediate access to titles like Forza Horizon 4, Sea of Thieves, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Games such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, Crusader Kings 3, and Age of Empires are also available for PC players that use Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

Besides major titles, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also includes many lesser-known indie titles so there's something for every gaming taste here. 

Tip : You can connect your Xbox console to an Alexa device and download games via Xbox Game Pass. You don't have to install a skill; Just say “Alexa, download [game] from Xbox Game Pass.”

What Are the Drawbacks to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate?


There are a lot of positives about Xbox Game Pass Ultimate but it's worth considering two key points.

You never actually own the games. Because Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is a subscription service, you never technically own the games you play. Instead, it's like a rental service meaning if Microsoft pulls the game from the lineup, you can't play it anymore unless you purchase it. This won't be an issue for everyone but it's worth considering if you prefer to own your games. 

You need to download each game. Some games are tens if not hundreds of gigabytes in size and they can take a long time to download if your internet connection isn't very fast. This won't be convenient for everyone as you'll need to plan ahead regarding what you want to play. 

Does Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Have Any Competition? 


There are other game subscription services out there. For Xbox One and PC owners, there's EA Play which allows access to many EA released titles for a monthly fee. However, this service will be shortly combined with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership so you can pay the same $15 monthly fee for everything that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offers, plus EA Play. 

On other devices, there's also Sony's PS Now which is an on-demand streaming games service rather than one that requires you to download games first. There's also Google Stadia and GeForce Now which offer streaming game services. Neither are currently available for the Xbox One though are available for the PC. 

Xbox Cloud Gaming: How to play your favorite Xbox games on an iPhone, iPad and laptop


You can stream Xbox games to iOS devices and Windows PCs. Here's everything you need to know.

Cloud gaming may be the future, but the future isn't quite here yet. It is, however, one step closer now that many Xbox Game Pass games can be streamed to iPhones, iPads and Windows PCs. Following months of limited beta testing, Xbox Cloud Gaming arrived earlier this summer to all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, though still in beta. 

After this hands-on was originally published, Microsoft also announced that Xbox Cloud gaming was coming to Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, as well as the last-gen Xbox One. Why would you want to stream an Xbox game to your Xbox? First, Xbox One owners could play newer Xbox Series X|S games without getting a hard-to-find new console, and cloud streaming also means you don't have to set aside 40GB or more for each game to download and store locally. 

Cloud gaming, or game streaming, is similar to watching a Netflix movie. The content lives on a remote server somewhere and is beamed to your screen in real time. Making cloud gaming harder to pull off than video streaming is the added complication of sending controller input (pressing buttons and moving analog sticks) up to the cloud, the game actions playing out on that remote server, then beaming the resulting video output back to your screen. 

But just as few people still download full movies or hoard DVDs, eventually game discs will disappear (they're already on the way out) and even full game downloads may be replaced by streaming. With many games easily passing 50GB, that can save a lot of downloading time and storage space.

Here's how to get in on the cloud gaming action, and what you need to know about it.

You need a premium membership  -


Navigate to xbox.com/play, and sign into your Microsoft account if you're not already logged in. Xbox Cloud Gaming is supported in Chrome and Edge on Windows devices, or Safari on iPhones and iPads. Game Pass Ultimate is the $15-a-month subscription that includes an all-you-can-play lineup of 100-plus games on both Xbox and PC. 

Some, but not all, Game Pass games are included -


This is only for a subset of a subset of your Xbox library. Games I've bought and downloaded individually, from Cyberpunk 2077 to Assassin's Creed Valhalla, are not included, only games from the Game Pass library. That library adds and removes games on a regular basis and not every Game Pass game is there, but a good number are. I've seen Outriders, Gears 5 and Doom Eternal, plus smaller indie games such as Subnautica and Outer Wilds. 

Select games include on-screen controls for easier iPad and iPhone use  -


It's a pretty clever idea. Some games include generic gamepad controls overlaid right onto the screen. Others add game-specific buttons. I found it worked best for games where split-second timing wasn't essential. 

Over the years, on-screen game controls on phones and tablets have gotten pretty sophisticated. This feels much more rudimentary, and frankly not that responsive. But it's an idea with a lot of promise. For example, playing Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire on my iPad with on-screen controls is exactly the kind of deep iPad RPG experience I've always wanted. 

Macs aren't officially invited, but they might still sneak in -


Microsoft describes Xbox Cloud Gaming as "for Windows 10 PCs and Apple phones and tablets." Notice what's missing there? MacBooks and Mac desktops. Naturally, I tried it on a Mac. Chrome was never able to launch a game, as it refused to recognize my controller. I had better luck with Safari, but it was still inconsistent. Performance also felt choppier than on one of the officially supported platforms. 

It's not time to toss your console yet -


While it's great to see more games available in more places, testing the Xbox Cloud Gaming beta also reminded me that we're not quite there yet on game streaming. On both iPads and PCs, performance was often stuttery and slow, the visuals would break up into digital noise and my controller inputs felt thrown off by too much delay. Even with a solid internet connection, the experience varied wildly. The most disappointing thing is just how much loading screen wait time there was within games. It often felt slower to load game levels than playing locally. 

In other words, the same problems you can have with GeForce Now, Stadia or other cloud gaming services. At their best, you can forget you're not playing on a gaming PC or console. But the consistency of experience isn't there yet, especially for twitch-based games like first-person shooters or competitive esports games.
