The Xbox Series X launch has been relatively smooth, with the biggest issue being availability above all else. However, as with any new product launch, there have been some technical issues that early adopters have had to deal with. While not all of the Xbox Series X launch issues have been deal-breakers, one, in particular, has caused fans serious problems, though Xbox is looking for a solution.
Those with an Xbox Series X may have noticed that controllers will desync and become unresponsive from time to time, a major inconvenience that requires a multi-step process to fix. While those problems can soil a gaming session, fans should take some comfort in knowing that Xbox is now actively looking for a fix for the issue, meaning a solution should be in-bound soon.
A Microsoft spokesperson recently issued a statement to The Loadout acknowledging that it has caught wind of the problem. The spokesperson stated that Microsoft puts all of its products through “rigorous quality assurance testing” to help thwart issues like this, and that the company is “actively working on a solution.” The Xbox Series X controller hasn’t been alone, as the Xbox One similarly experienced controller desync issues.
Fans have waited quite some time for the issue to be solved, and it is a bit concerning that no solution has been released yet. For the Xbox Series X, players typically have to completely reset their consoles to solve the problem, and occasionally reconnect the controller to the system with a USB-C cable. It’s inconvenient, but until Microsoft has a fix released, fans are going to have to bear with it.
Xbox isn’t alone in its current controller situation. The Nintendo Switch has suffered issues with Joy-Con drift, which can cause player characters to move without the user making any input on their controller due to wear and tear. The issue has spawned widespread complaints within the user base, and even some lawsuits.
The PS5’s DualSense controller may have similar issues later down the line, with studies revealing that the controller may only have a lifespan of about 417 hours, which isn’t that much all things considered. It’s unclear what’s causing such major issues in contemporary controllers, though it seems there are give and takes for every platform at this point. On the bright side, those problems are being dealt with, but it’s still not a fun circumstance to begin with.
The Xbox Series X is available now.
