My xbox controllers keep disconnecting from my series x

MongoHIo · Apr 19, 2023

Every controller I connect to my series x has an issue where while playing, the light will start to flash, and I cannot use the controller. This happens every 2-10 minutes, and makes games basically unplayable. If I connect a new controller to the xbox it has the same problems. I have used both xbox one and series x controllers. For a while one of the series x controllers wouldn’t even connect, and every time it was turned on it would flash.

Things I have tried:

Updating the controllers

Restarting the xbox

Changing the batteries

The controllers do not have buttons to reset them, so that is not an option

Hi there!

Sorry to hear about what happened. I appreciate your efforts in trying to get it fixed. Let's do our best to get this sorted out.

If the issue happens to multiple controllers, the problem should be on your console. I recommend you to perform a factory reset. There's an option to keep your games and apps.
Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.
Select Reset console.
On the Reset your console? Please choose “Reset and keep my games & apps”

In addition, please try to connect your controller to your console using a USB cable if it will work normally.

My controllers keep disconnecting from my Xbox series X randomly while playing games. When it happens I connect a different controller and it keeps happening. I have 3 xbox one controllers and 2 series x controllers. I've tried using all of them. I've also gone through all of the troubleshooting steps, made sure controller and console updates have been done and have reset and reconnected the controllers multiple times. I've even tried saving the game soft resetting the console then restarting and reconnecting a controller. I cannot play the trial or opens in FH5 as those are multiplayer races and you cannot pause or rewind or you lose your place. Does my console have a defect with its bluetooth connection?

Check the forum or just google "XBOX Series X disconnects from wifi". Tons of threads here and on reddit since the launch.

An example.

Connecting the controller with a USB cable doesn't work,

Controller still disconnects even with a USB cable connected,

I have the same issue with Series X using mouse and keyboard for Call of Duty Vanguard.

I played during the beta and there was no problems with the controller disconnecting but as soon as the game released, the controller disconnects,

I've tried a Xbox One controller Series X controller, with batteries and a USB cable, and the controllers still disconnects.
