Easy peasy! Just turn on your Xbox controller, hold the connect button, and then pair it in your Mac鈥檚 Bluetooth settings.
In my experience, sometimes it helps to restart your MacBook if it doesn't detect the controller on the first try.
Use a USB-C cable for a more stable connection if Bluetooth isn't your thing. Plug it in and you're good to go!
