    Assigning Controller With Another Name


    Hey folks. Got a One for Christmas and also an additional controller, but I am struggling assigning the second controller with another name. From what I remember it was really easy to assign the other controller with another name on my old 360. Also when
    trying to set things up I kept adding the same controller several times, so I am wanting to remove it and start again. It is just an irritant and does not stop the working of the console, but It would be nice to have individual controllers with the correct
    names assigned to them. Can someone tell me how I can do it???

    Thanks

    Malc

    Assigning Controller With Another Name

    If you want to assign a controller to a specific person while you are playing with them then head to Settings>Devices to assign the controller.

    NOTE: This is not permanent and must be done each time.

    I am trying to play FIFA23 and the Xbox message is: The controller needs to be paired to a profile. When I click A for OK, nothing happens. Any ideas?

    Hi JP *.

    My name is Mauro and am glad to assist you. We are sorry for this situation.

    Please read the steps below to fix this issue

    Assigning an account to your controller:

    - Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    - Select Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories.
    - Select the controller, and then the More options icon (…). Assigned to shows the current account assigned to that controller.
    - 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.
