XBOX One: Register a new controller - how it works
In this guide, we show you how to register a new controller on your Xbox One. This way, you can play with multiple people on one console in a room, if the game supports such a multiplayer mode.
How to sign up a new controller on your Xbox One
We'll show you step by step how to register your new controller with Xbox One:
- Start the Xbox One and make sure that the new controller has already been supplied with batteries or the appropriate rechargeable battery.
- Turn on your controller using the Xbox button at the top. The controller then vibrates, making it clear to you that it is not yet registered.
- There is a connect button on the side of your console. It is not far from the drive. Press shortly after, but do not hold it down.
- You will then need to press the Xbox button on your controller again within the next 20 seconds. This should now light up a few times, which indicates the search process. If the blinking stops and the controller lights up permanently, the registration is successful.
