Community Q&A
- QuestionDoes it have to be a wired controller? Can it be a charger?
Community AnswerTo my knowledge is has to be a wired controller, because the Xbox One controller sensors work only for Xbox one controllers. - QuestionHow can we use two controllers for multiplayer purposes?
Kaden WerleCommunity AnswerOn your console, there is a button with 3 lines sort of like a circle. There is also one on your controllers. Press the button on your Xbox, then the power button will flash, then press the same button on your controllers. They should connect.
