Make sure your Xbox controller supports Bluetooth. If it does, put it in pairing mode, then go to your Mac's Bluetooth settings and connect. Boom!

Easy peasy! First, make sure your Xbox controller has Bluetooth. Then go to System Preferences > Bluetooth on your Mac, turn Bluetooth on, and hold the sync button on your Xbox controller until the Xbox button starts flashing. It'll show up in your Bluetooth devices list; click connect, and you're ready to game!
