Xbox series x controller not showing up on bluetooth pc

it uses wifi that the xbox has a receiver and sender for, similar to the microsoft pc wireless adapter but obviously built into the console.

no bluetooth at all. there is not a single bluetooth chip in the console, the modern xbox controller connect via wifi to the console or bluetooth to phones and pc if not using the adapter for pc. only the controller has bluetooth and this is basic at best.

Does the Xbox Series X or Series S support Bluetooth? | Windows Central

No Bluetooth for Xbox Series X

The Xbox Series X doesn't have Bluetooth, similarly to the Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X. The reason is simple; the Bluetooth signal isn't strong enough to meet Microsoft's specifications for latency. Microsoft uses its proprietary signal, dubbed Xbox Wireless, for connecting controllers and other accessories, like the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 and the SteelSeries 9X wireless headsets.

Microsoft's signal is far stronger than Bluetooth. Since many people typically game while sitting far away from their consoles in the living room or so on, Bluetooth's susceptibility to interference increases exponentially at longer ranges. If you were hoping you could use a USB Bluetooth adapter, it wouldn't work either, as the Xbox Series X and other Xbox One consoles don't have the drivers necessary to power them.

Hi,

The Series S and X controllers work on same devices the earlier controller can connect to. This includes:

Xbox One Game receiver for Windows 10

Bluetooth (PC, Android, iOS)

Xbox One, One S, X and Series X/S.

Thank you very much for your reply. I was searching for this for so long. Now i get it

I really appreciate your help bro

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Please see how to connect/troubleshoot the controller not connecting to a pc here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

I'll advise you get an Xbox Bluetooth Adapter for the PC. Same thing I did, it should connect without a hitch then.

Hope this helps.

The Xbox controller uses the Bluetooth 4.0 specification as its standard. Many Bluetooth devices can be backward compatible when a slower transfer rate is still effective. However, the latency needed for a game controller likely can’t tolerate the slower 3 Mbps speeds of Bluetooth 2.0 when Bluetooth 4.0’s high speed spec offers up 25 Mbps. It’s unlikely the Xbox Series 2 controller would allow connection to a slower Bluetooth 2.0 adapter.
