XBOX Beta Controller Support

Hi there Andreas,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is an issue with connecting the Xbox 360 wireless controller when playing games on the app. I recommend trying the following article:

• How to set up an Xbox 360 Controller for Windows
• Troubleshoot your Xbox 360 controller for Windows

Give this a try and let us know the results.

Thanks for the fast reply but this did not help me with my problem. except from the xbox beta app i have no problems playing games with my wireless xbox 360 controller on my win 10 pc. i would consider buying an xbox one controller if that would solve
the problem. does the xbox beta app (game pass for win 10) support the xbox 360 controller normally?

Hello Sandor,





As this is an old thread, I will be locking this one. Updates, games and everything changes often so would be best to create a new thread. Once a new thread is created we will be happy to assist you in any issues or questions you might have.





Thanks,

Brad

Hi,

The OP isn't asking about Xbox, they are asking about
Xbox Beta which is a PC application.

As I understand it these 'BlueLake' controllers are designed to work on PS3, PS2 and PS1. There is support for Windows, but the main reason why this controller has Windows support is for PlayStation emulation on a Windows PC.

I'm pretty sure these controllers are missing direct support for Microsoft's XInput API, which is the reason why it doesn't natively with the PC Game Pass games.

Remember that Steam is a long established software distribution platform and supports many types of controllers, some of which using its own controller software emulation. Xbox Beta is, as the name suggests,
still in Beta.

If you really are dead set on using a PlayStation type controller on your Windows 10 PC, I suggest you buy a PS4 Dual Shock and install DS4Windows application. DS4Windows makes
Windows believe that the PS4 controller is an Xbox 360 controller.
