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.
In the next practical tip, we will help you if your Xbox One does not recognize the controller.
