- Xbox One Controller Driver For Windows 10 Major Nelson And Sons While Microsoft confirmed PC compatibility for the Xbox One last year, rumors popped up in March that contradicted that information. However, Microsoft quickly debunked the misinformation earlier this year, and now PC drivers are available for download.
- Microsoft's wireless USB adapter for the Xbox One controller on Windows PC is no longer restricted to Windows 10 — it now also supports Windows 7 and Windows 8, Microsoft's Larry 'Major Nelson'.
'We know our fans have wanted PC compatibility, and we know they wanted to be able to use the Xbox One controller with the same games and applications they have been playing with using the Xbox 360 controller,' Microsoft mouthpiece Major Nelson said.
'We can't wait for them to play their favourite PC games with what we consider the best controller ever made and we're excited for fans to experience the improved D-pad, redesigned battery compartment, new comfortable design and offset analog sticks.'
Major Nelson's announcement included an image of the Halo 2 menu screen on a Windows Surface tablet with an Xbox One controller plugged into it - perhaps yet another tease that Halo 2 Anniversary will be revealed at E3 next week as part of the rumoured The Master Chief Collection.
Note: Your Xbox One controller needs to be connected to your PC through the micro USB cable for PC gaming.
