    Using Xbox controller for Windows PC gaming


    I want to use the Xbox controller as a gamepad to play games on my PC, but I cant find a list of all such games which can accept the Xbox controller as a gamepad. Is there a central list I can check to see if the PC game supports the Xbox controller?

    :)

    I maybe VERY wrong but, A Xbox console contoller is different from an Xbox PC controller.

    If you purchase an Xbox Pc Controller it will work with PC games that support the configuration.

    A normal Console controller is not usable on a PC without the right cable and drivers.........

    A wired 360 controller will work regardless of whether it's "for pc" or the 360 however for wireless controllers you need to buy an adapter. Play and charge kits wont work.

    Anyways, probably at least 75% of the games that are on steam have controller support available. Votes list is good if you're looking for big titles but you'll probably have a very hard time of finding a list of every pc game with support.

    Thanks Bon3zz1001, I have the Xbox controller and the adapter (USB on PC) all setup and working fine.

    The steam list seems to be the best bet. An interim way to search on a windows 8 PC is to actually search for Xbox 360 controller support in the store. That popped up a few names too.

    Hello gamer,

    not all PC games support the same gamepads. In order to be able to play games purchased from Xbox marketplace I suggest you to use an Xbox controller.

    In order to use an Xbox controller with your PC check this link:

    Xbox 360 and Xbox one controller for PC

    Many PC games let you play with an Xbox Wireless Controller instead of a keyboard or mouse. You can connect your controller to a Windows PC by using a USB cable, the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows, or over Bluetooth. Some PCs also come with Xbox
    Wireless built in, so you can connect a controller directly without an adapter.
    The Xbox 360 Controller for Windows can be easily installed on any PC that has an available USB port and is running Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7.
