Elite 2 Controller Weird for Xbox Game Pass Games Only on PC

Are you aware that Quake 1, 2, 3 & 4 are currently on game Pass? Number One is on Xbox Game Pass & PC Game Pass, but 2, 3 & 4 are only on PC Game Pass.

No. I would assume that the Xbox app on our Samsung TVs might need an update.

Or, we need an firmware update for our Elite Series 2 Xbox controllers, which can only be done using an actual Xbox hardware or a Windows PC. I have neither.

My current workaround is using the “cheap” standard Xbox wireless controller I had already.

I got the Elite Series 2 controller for free, as it was part of a marketing campaign, buying that particular Samsung TV series, you receive an Xbox controller for free and a Game Pass. However, that Xbox controller doesn’t pair with the Xbox app. (It pairs with the TV only.)

It would be great if anyone who knows Xbox 2nd level support contact details forwarding this thread, so that MS can look into that and update the Xbox app for Samsung smart TVs. Or I go in a shop and ask if they can check if the Elite controller has the latest firmware installed.

The list you have there will do, but to play online multiplayer, you will need to get Game Pass Core (new name for Gold) or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which includes Game Pass Core, Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, EA Play & Cloud Gaming.

The Elite Series controllers won't really make much of a difference to your gameplay. If you want to use one, then that is entirely your choice.

I can only think of a glitch as you say. Specially when the game is brand new.

I´ve seen some force feedback complains but it is weird that it is only affecting the elite controller as you say

I'm having the same issue. My elite 2 works fine even in the game pass app, I can use the thumb sticks to select a game, but when the game starts the thumb sticks and dpad stop working...

Other controllers work, just not the elite 2. It's not very elite it seems. Would love a fix for this!
