First, power on both your console and controller. Press the sync button on the console (usually located near the power button on Xbox Series X/S or on the side for Xbox One), then press and hold the sync button on the controller (located near the charging port) until they pair up. Simple as that!
Controllers, consoles, and sync buttons, oh my! Basically, press the sync button on both the controller and Xbox until they stop blinking. Game on!
Use a USB cable to connect your controller to the Xbox if you prefer wired. Just plug it in and you're ready to game.
Just press the small sync button on your Xbox and the one on your controller at the same time until they connect. It's super easy!
