will the xbox 360 controller work in forza horizon 3 on pc or do i need to buy a xbox one controller to play on 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.

Hi,

PC versions are the same model but usually they include specific accessories like an USB cable or a wireless adapter. You can use both version on PC if it meets the minimun system requirements.

Oh thank you for your answers !

I didn't notice the console version of controller didn't include "USB cable or a wireless adapter", that's why i didn't understand the difference with PC version of controller.

 

That depends.

For Xbox One controllers, you can simply buy any Xbox One controller and a Micro USB cable, and you can use it right away on Windows 10.

If your PC has Bluetooth capability and you have at least Windows 10 Version 1709 installed (1803 or 1809 would be better), you can even connect the controller wirelessly via Bluetooth.

Alternatively, if you want to use the controller wirelessly, but don't have Bluetooth, you can buy a Wireless Gaming adapter for Xbox One controllers. For example

this set with controller and wireless USB adapter included.

As for Xbox 360 controllers: You will HAVE TO buy the
Wireless Gaming Reciever for Windows, or make sure that you are buying a
WIRED controller for Xbox 360 and Windows PCs.

Don't make the mistake of buying a wireless Xbox 360 controller and a Play&Charge USB cable for that controller. The Play&Charge cable will NOT transmit the controller input. It will ONLY provide power for the controller and battery charging, but no input.

TL;DR: Buy
this controller, and you're set, as long as you have Windows 10. For Windows 7 or 8 you need to fiddle around with drivers.
