How to connect controller to Xbox Series X

Best Answer

Easy-peasy! Press the sync button on your Xbox Series X (it's the small button near the front USB port). Then, press and hold the small sync button on the top of your controller until the Xbox button starts flashing. They should pair up like peanut butter and jelly!

Just press the sync button on the console and then the sync button on the controller. When the Xbox logo stops flashing and stays solid, you're all set!

USB cable FTW! Connect your controller to the Xbox Series X using the USB-C cable. It'll sync automatically, and you can ditch the cable after that if you want wireless play!

Honestly, just use the USB-C cable. Plug in, sync, and you’re done. No buttons, no hassle.

From my experience, the easiest way is pressing the sync button on both the console and the controller. They usually connect under 10 seconds!
