Xbox console controller connectivity .

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. That is a great question. The console allows up to eight wireless controllers to connect to the console. The article entitled, "Connect
a wireless Xbox One controller to your console" contains information about the Xbox One controllers. The article states, "You can connect up to eight wireless controllers to a console." We hope this helps!

Hi and Sulute

sorry to hear.

If this controller was previously connected to the console but is no longer able to connect, you should repeat the connection process using the console’s connect button.

For info on how to connect your wireless controller to an Xbox One, Xbox One S, or Xbox One X, see

Connect a wireless Xbox One controller to your console.

If this does not help try "Troubleshoot your Xbox One wireless controller"

Hope this helps

Hi Killian,

If the controller is not connecting either wireless or with a USB cable, then it could be possible the controller is not functioning properly since it should automatically connect with a cable. The only way to figure out if the console or controller is the
issue is to further test other controllers on that same console, or try to connect that same controller to another Xbox.

Usually the hard reset and power cycle resolves this issue but if it didn't for you, then it could be a hardware problem. If the controller does not connect to the Xbox One console using USB then try connecting to a Windows PC and see if it is detected and
can connect. This way you can also check if the controller needs an update.

When you press the sync button on the console, the Xbox light will blink on the console indicating it is searching for a controller. Then press the sync button on the controller and the Xbox light on the controller will start blinking and then become solid
once it's paired to the Xbox.

Xbox consoles do not use Bluetooth at all. The controllers connect to consoles via RF. The Xbox controllers only use Bluetooth to connect to PCs and phones.
