Xbox 360 controller not working with Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Hi Sedomo! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

When cloud gaming on an Xbox console, any wired or wireless controller that is compatible with an Xbox console will work for cloud gaming on console.

If you’re using a web browser to play cloud games, the Xbox Wireless Controller is currently the only officially supported controller. Other controllers may or may not work for cloud gaming on a browser.

Hi,

Playing cloud via the Xbox App or a browser needs a controller that is XINPUT compatable. Unfortunately, Sony Dual Shock 4 controllers are not compatible, not on their own least.

It should be possible via a wrapper such as DS4Windows

DS4Windows allows your DS4 to emulate a 360 controller. Once a 360 controller is detected, cloud games should work. How well they'll work I'm not sure though.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

These are official Xbox controllers and should work with Xbox Cloud. As the other respondent pointed out though, you cant connect a 360 wireless controller via USB, even though it is recognised as a USB device.

As many people will have old 360 controllers, and Microsoft are pushing Xbox Cloud, it would have been helpful if Microsoft put this in the controller FAQ.

Regards,

Kevin.

Its not the 'Recon Hybrid Game Controller' , My controller is the Turtle Beach Recon Controller and whenever I plug it in it doesnt detect it on XBOX cloud gaming. My controller works on normal games but it doesnt detect on Xbox cloud gaming .

Hi, Micah! Thank you for reaching out.

Unfortunately, playing local co-op on an Xbox 360 console over the internet is not possible. For you to be able to play an Xbox 360 game together, the game itself must support online co-op, and your girlfriend would need to have her own Xbox 360, a copy of the game, and a subscription to Xbox Game Pass Core (Xbox Live Gold).

Alternatively, if you have a copy of a different Xbox 360 game that is available on Xbox Cloud Gaming and supports online co-op, she could play with you that way, but she'd need an active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription and a supported controller to do so.
