    Xbox Series X Controller Randomly Disconnects During Gameplay


    I've been experiencing an issue with my Xbox Series X controller where it randomly disconnects during gameplay. This happens unpredictably and can occur with various games. I've tried the usual troubleshooting steps, like replacing the batteries, updating the controller firmware, and even using a wired connection, but nothing seems to permanently resolve the issue. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and are there any solutions that worked for you? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    :)

    Hi, Stef! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your controller connectivity. No worries, I'm happy to assist you with this today.

    Have you checked if your console needs an update too?

    Settings > System > Updates & downloads > Console update.

    Also please try clearing your cache:

    Press and hold the Xbox button on the console for 10 seconds until it turns off.

    Remove everything that is connected to the console

    Wait for 3 minutes then connect the Power cord and HDMI cable.

    Did you check your controller batteries too?

    Looking forward to your response.

    Thank you!

    Controller disconnects randomly during gameplay on Xbox Series X

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with your controller being randomly disconnected from your Xbox Series X.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Please check for Wireless Interference. Make sure that there are no other wireless devices nearby that might be causing interference. Move any other wireless devices away from your console or turn them off.

    And then power Cycle Your Console and Controllers. To do this please unplug your console and controllers from their power source, wait for a minute or two, and then plug them back in.

    Make sure your controller's firmware is up-to-date. Connect your controller to the Xbox with a USB cable, go to Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories > Firmware version > Update now.

    Next is to try a Different Controller. If you have access to another controller, try connecting it to your console to see if it experiences the same issue.

    If it doesn't, then the problem might be with the your controller.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Vanguard Controller issue ...

    Connecting the controller with a USB cable doesn't work,

    Controller still disconnects even with a USB cable connected,

    I have the same issue with Series X using mouse and keyboard for Call of Duty Vanguard.

    I played during the beta and there was no problems with the controller disconnecting but as soon as the game released, the controller disconnects,

    I've tried a Xbox One controller Series X controller, with batteries and a USB cable, and the controllers still disconnects.
