Does Xbox360 controller work with Games installed from Xbox Game Pass for PC

Hi All,

I dont know if I am missing something but I cannot use my Xbox One controller to navigate the XBOX (beta) App. Works fine with games but I have to use the mouse to navigate the app itself.

All drivers are up-to-date and the controllers have the latest firmware.

I also have an issue with my Xbox One controller however, it does not work on any of the installed games I have downloaded from the xbox game pass beta for pc. Yet when its a none game pass game, it functions. How to resolve this?

I have Xbox Game Pass for PC. I have linked my account with Ubisoft, Steam, and EA Play. All these apps are also installed on my PC. Whenever I try to install a game off of the game pass, I get a popup stating I need to download one of those apps even though they are installed. I have tried downloading directly from the store and this does not work. I have also made sure all my correct accounts are linked.

Thank you for the information.

Upon further checking, to answer your inquiry from one of the answers in the forums regarding the issue with the Xbox game pass and PS4 controller:

"as the windows system does not natively support the ps4/5 controller you have to use ds4 which is a program that basically disguises the ps4 controller as an xbox controller, some games in gamepass work, some don't, i have a ps4 controller and have used it for all games on every store except gamepass."

It seems Xbox game pass does not support 3rd party system.

Gold is needed only to play on xbox, not on PC. Are you trying to install on PC from the store and getting an error (which one?) or does it ask you to purchase the game first even if you have an active game pass Subscription?

You need to install the Game Pass for PC app to install games from Game Pass on your PC.

Hope that makes sense
