A: It should, it comes with a USB C to USB A adapter in the box.

Q: Is this headset compatible with xbox

A: Yes, this headset is compatible with Xbox.

Q: Will this headset work with a ps4

A: If you go to the SteelSeries website for this product, it specifically states for use with PS4. Since the PS4 does not have a type USB-C plug in it, you have to use the included adapter cable that goes from USB-C to USB-A. Just plug the wireless USB-C dongle into the USB-A cable that plugs into the PS4. It's still wireless but you just have to hide the dongle with adapter cable. The manufacturer website has a picture where you see the PS4 and the wireless dongle plugged into a cable laying on top of the PS4 all sleek like.

Q: Does the headset work without downloading the engine. want to use for work and they don’t allow any extra software on PC

A: Yes. The engine is optional. It is used for sound mixing and changing settings only.
