Xbox second player controller

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

You can follow the steps below as per Xbox Support:

"1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

2. Select Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories.

3. Select the controller, and then the More options icon (…). Assigned to shows the current account assigned to that controller.

4. To assign the controller to another account, select Assigned to, and then select the account that you want assigned to the controller. This will pair the controller to this account."

I have found that only the second player can actually sign in with the second controller. For example: I was signed in as player one. I tried to sign in as player two with the second controller. I was having the same issue as you. But I had my wife pick
up the second controller and it let her sign in as player two. The xbox knows who's in the room and will automatically sign you in.

I happened to get it to work by experimenting (Microsoft, you need to explain these things better). First, I had to create a second xbox account which will be used by the "second/other" player. After creating the new xbox live account, I logged into that
account on the xb1 using the second controller, designating that controller to the second player. Then go into Forza with either account and the second player should be available. Give a whirl and let us know if it worked for you too. Good luck!

Do you by chance have a second controller signed in, that is pushing up?

On the main Xbox menus, multiple controllers are "fighting" over the control of the dashboard, and every controller can move the cursor.

When you start a game, each controller is assigned to a specific player, and only that player is controlled. So if a second controller is always pushing up, it won't affect control in a game of the first controller anymore.

Hi there,

if this is happening on a Xbox 360 console then please try the following.

Power the Xbox 360 down, wait until the light on console is off and wait another 30 seconds.

After that disconnect the console from power for at least 2 minutes.

These steps should make sure there is no cache etc left to cause weirdness.

After those 2 minutes reconnect the console to power and power the console on again by holding the Xbox Logo button on the controller.

These steps usually fix weird controller issues on the Xbox 360 console and controllers.

The numbers indicate the player number, so the first controller connected for 'player 1' then the light with the 1 next to it will be on, when a second controller is connected for the second player then the light with 2 will be on. It's to indicate what
controller is connected to which player.
