You can connect up to eight wireless controllers to a console.
Controllers are assigned to users based on who is holding the controller. To learn how to
assign a controller to your profile, see
How to assign an account to an Xbox One
Wireless Controller.
Connect the controller using a USB cable
Connect your controller using a micro-USB cable (included with all standard Xbox One wireless
controllers and the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit). If you’re using an Xbox Elite Wireless
Controller Series 2 or Xbox Adaptive Controller, connect your controller using a USB-C cable
(included with both controllers).
Depending on the type of controller you have, plug the micro-USB or USB-C cable into the
power port on the back of the controller then plug the other end of the cable into your Xbox One.
