Xbox One Wireless Controller Batterystatus

Well, the Xbox 360 use to show battery status when you pressed the guide button, so the most logical place to implement it, would be within the Game Bar, that's used now when you press the Guide button on the XBox One Controller.

Any indicator would at least warn you, currently if your battery is low the controller just Shuts off, no warning.

It blows my mind that wireless controller for windows is such an after thought, they would overlook something like Battery Status.

 

Low battery warning in Windows

Salutations,

I use the wireless Xbox One controller with the USB dongle

(which btw is extremely oversized compared to the Steam dongle, not to mention the Logitech ones).

Using the Windows 10 app Xbox Accessories I can check the battery level to a certain extent

(it shows a battery bar and a vague description, no percentages).

However, there is absolutely no low battery level warning!

On the Steam controller the button with the logo on it would flash
if it was near death but the only way the Xbox controller tells you is by
instantly turning off. Something that is highly frustrating when playing a ranked multiplayer game.

Is there any way to get a similar warning as the Steam controller for low battery level, or at least some sort of software popup?

Cheers.

 

Hi DJLRADEON,

Thank you for bringing this up. Normally, you can check the battery level of your Xbox One controller by going to the Device Info section in the Xbox Accessories app. However, showing the battery level in the Gamebar overlay during gameplay is currently
not available on Windows 10. We understand that this is very important for players who use Xbox One controller through a wireless connection. Our team is doing their best to make this available soon on Windows 10. You can also share this idea with our Windows
