Does this work on windows pc without a special adapter if it has bluetooth already? null

Question

DrPeeper · Accepted Answer

It's not working for me in Windows 10. Windows does not recognize it as an Xbox Controller in Game Controllers and Steam won't recognize it at all. Replacing a Series S controller that still works when I try it, analog is just super sloppy. Have ran windows update and Xbox Accessory App does not recognize Bluetooth. 

So it's really a mixed bag but at day of release, it's not working for me at all and is useless compared to the Series S controller that works fine.

Thank you for asking. Yes, this Xbox wireless controller has built-in Bluetooth support and is compatible with Windows 10 PCs via Bluetooth without the need for Xbox Wireless Adapter.

This controller is not compatible with Windows 10 PC using a bluetooth connection, even with latest firmware and latest OS update. It only works using a USB-C cable (as of 11/30/20).

No. It may as well not even have bluetooth right now. Buttons aren't mapped correctly even with firmware update and running latest windows update (as of 11/30). It will only work right while attached to PC with a cable.
