Xbox One controllers feel the need for speed with new patch

28 Jan 2015

Xbox One Preview Program members are now being offered a patch that will greatly reduce the time in which controllers connect to the console.

Microsoft promises that patched controllers will connect in around two seconds, as compared to current benchmark of around 5 seconds. The update also includes stability issues taken from Preview feedback.

To get the update, plug it in via USB and head to Settings > Devices & Accessories > Controller > Update via your Xbox One.

As with all Preview Program updates, this will be pushed to all Xbox One users shortly.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
