Xbox Wireless Controller Firmware Update

Keeping your controller updated with the latest software maximizes your controller’s capabilities and compatibility. We’re rolling out a firmware update that includes bug fixes for unexpected slow battery drain in controllers with internal batteries like Xbox Elite Series 2 and Xbox Adaptive controllers or the Xbox rechargeable battery.

How often you charge a battery will determine how long it lasts. The battery status of your controller can be checked at any time. Your Xbox console has a battery indicator in the upper-right hand corner. If you don’t see the battery indicator, go to Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories, and then select the controller you’re using. Choose There are many more options. Above the image of the controller is a battery-indicator.
