Xbox Series X gamepad keeps disconnecting while playing.

VascoMarques1 · Apr 25, 2021

I have the series X gamepad USB-C and use the Bluetooth connection because I like to play resting in my chair.

The controller keeps disconnecting what is very annoying because I play competitive games with it and stopping in the middle of a fight or a rocket league game ruins all the experience.

I don't know if there is any fix, I did my research and I saw that buying the wireless adapter may fix it but having to pay extra on an item that should work normally out of the box is kinda stupid.

I would like to know if someone knows something that could help in this case.

Thank you all in advance,

Vasco

i gave up with using bluetooth as it is useless for controllers due to the latency, i now have the wireless adapter for pc which obviously is not bluetooth but proper wireless. works a charm and you can connect up to 8 controllers, and it also support audio via the controller unlike over bluetooth.

worth the money.

its not the controllers fault that bluetooth does nto always work, i find bluetooth very unreliable for a lot of devices.

I picked up the series controller from argos in the uk with the adapter for £65 which aint too bad.

Check the forum or just google "XBOX Series X disconnects from wifi". Tons of threads here and on reddit since the launch.

An example.

I believe that they the xbox one and one s will be obsolete by the launch of the series x however, I do think that they are going to keep the xbox one x for a while due to it being good enough to play next gen games at moderate settings.

I'm playing on a PC, this isn't a Forza issue, it's a Windows/Firmware/Compatibility issue, the controller disconnects even if i'm not in any games.
A lot of people have this issues on PC, for some it works fine in some games, and in others it keeps getting disconnected, and for most it just disconnects regardless of game or not.

It's been an issue since Xbox One controllers, and day Series X

When I want to disconnect the electricity from the device, I turn off the device completely through the settings

You should not disconnect the power from the Xbox Series X while it is in sleep or shutdown mode even if the fan does not rotate ???
