    Compatibility issue with Xbox controller and game pass titles


    OK then, got a pretty specific bug vis a vis the current gen Xbox wireless controller when used with Game Pass for PC. I recently received my new design lab controller. I hooked it up via USB, used the accessories app to update the firmware to latest, ran a few titles to test it out, and then paired it via Bluetooth. Tried to run some titles and found they could not see the controller when wireless. Ran some other titles and was able to use the controller via Bluetooth. Hopped over to Steam, and everything ran wireless. Over to Epic games, everything (well the 2 things I have installed ATM) ran fine. Went back to Game Pass and did some testing. Some titles will not see the controller on startup, others will. On the titles that won’t see the controller on startup, I can start wired pull the cable and it will “re-establish” a connection and then run wirelessly as if nothing had ever been off. If I start the same titles with the controller off, then power it back up no detection occurs. The controller this is a replacement for, an 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ works with all 3 platforms titles wired or wirelessly. Oddly enough it’s only The Microsoft controller running on the Microsoft platform where any issues occur.

    It seems on Game Pass there’s just enough difference between the initial controller detection routine and the lost connection restoration routine to render the first one insufficient with the Microsoft controller, though only on some (most) titles.

    Why won't Ghost recon: wildlands use my xbox account save?

    Ubisoft controls the distribution of their titles on PC, and all Xbox game pass titles are just the ones on Ubisoft service, which have no connection to your Xbox save as there is no cross save compatibility with the game

    You will find the cross save is very much the exception rather than the rule at this time

    If the Xbox one x can handle xbox360 games

    Xbox backwards compatability for Xbox One, Xbox360, and Original Xbox vary on a per title basis.

    For a comprehensive and up-to-date list of games that will work on your device, please check: https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/backward-compatibility

    All games available on the Xbox marketplace will also be compatible with all systems, (with the exception of Kinect-only titles on Xbox One, which aren't compatible with other systems).

    All titles provided as part of Games With Gold, Game Pass, and Ultimate are also compatible with Xbox One and Xbox S/X, (with Xbox360 and some Original Xbox titles working on Xbox360).

    Please note that Original Xbox titles and some Xbox360 titles no-longer support online features or DLC.
