Microsoft has begun testing a new firmware version for its Xbox One, Xbox Elite 2, and Xbox Adaptive Controllers. The updated firmware should dramatically improve cross-device connectivity and latency. Microsoft has also stated that the controllers now support Bluetooth Low Energy for improved connectivity with iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 devices.
The firmware is currently available to Insider beta testers using Xbox One controllers with Bluetooth support, Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, and Xbox Adaptive Controllers. The new firmware “delivers next-gen features previously available only on Xbox Series X and S controllers.”
Microsoft also offered the following comments regarding performance on other platforms:
These controllers now support Bluetooth Low Energy, which delivers better compatibility across devices and allows for better pairing experiences. You will be able to play wirelessly on Windows 10 PCs, iOS 15+, and Android devices with Bluetooth Low Energy for remote play from your console or cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on the go. After installing the firmware update, these controllers will remember one Bluetooth host (e.g., smartphone) and one Xbox Wireless host (e.g., Xbox console), so you can quickly and seamlessly switch between previously connected devices with a simple double tap of the pair button.
Microsoft also says that this firmware update includes support for Dynamic Latency Input, which “delivers controller inputs more efficiently” to your console. The new firmware is available to Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha users today, and Microsoft says it will make it available to additional flight rings in the weeks to come.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
