    Gamepass PC doesn't recognise wireless controller


    Gamepass on PC doesn't recognise my PS5 controller, despite Windows itself showing that it is both connected and working.

    Here's a screenshot of the joypad calibration / testing screen included in windows. I've pushed some of the buttons and moved the joysticks to show that the input is being acknowledged

    However, when I open any gamepass game, there is zero input shown. Things I have tried that haven't worked:

    Pairing and re-pairing the controller (no change in behaviour)

    Connecting the controller via USB (doesm't work)

    DS4Windows (doesn't seem to pick up the controller either)

    Launching the game through Steam (steam's input doesn't hand over to the game)

    Closing Steam and ensuring the pad is connected before launching the XBox app

    The games I'm trying to run are Hi Fi Rush and Ninja Gaiden.

    I'm pretty sure this is a bug, or at worst a feature request, but if Windows is showing the controller working, why doesn't anything on game pass recognise it?

    :)

    Removing connection between controller and Xbox One

    Once you have synced the controller with the PC wireless adapter the console should no longer recognise it afterwards.

    Dear Microsoft, please give us the ability to support hardware ourselves in Forza games.

    I'm actually trying to get this to work on PC, I'm very much aware that if this was Xbox it wouldn't be possible as much as part of me wishes it was (even in a limited fashion). The issue I have on PC is that the game doesn't recognise the controller at all (just says it's incompatible) or allow me to create any key bindings with the controller. I am using an official Xbox 360 wireless adapter on the PC side and it's worked with other controllers so I know it's not the adapter.

    我的xbox无线适配器无法和xbox one手柄连接 I can't connect the xbox one wireless controller with the wireless adapter

    Hello ziyiJiang,

    Are you using Windows 10? If you are, Windows 10 should recognise the wireless adapter directly. Is the adapter the original one from Microsoft or a third party one?

    In case is the official one, follow the instructions described in this url : https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/connect-xbox-wireless-controller-to-pc

    In case it doesn't work, maybe the adapter is malfunctioning. You should take it to the shop and get it changed for a working one.

    Xbox 360 controller for Windows 8.1

    The Play and Charge kit doesn't allow a wireless controller to connect to a PC as a game pad. You'll need the wireless gaming receiver for a wireless controller to connect.

    Cable play&charge to windows 10

    Hi,

    When using this cable on a 360 it will allow you to continue to play while charging. It doesn't make the wireless 360 controller a wired controller, in fact the controller remains wireless.

    Hence, if you plug this into a 360 controller and a PC, it will just charge the battery - or power the controller if no battery is present. It won't make the controller wired. This is because the 360 wireless controller was only designed to be wireless.

    To use a 360 wireless controller on your PC, you'll need a 360 Game Receiver.
