If you’re using unofficial controllers and other accessories on your Xbox, you’ll soon run into a problem. Microsoft has decided to stop supporting unauthorized accessories on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles.
In short, this means that you will not use anything on Xbox that is not licensed. These can be not only cheap controllers connected by cable, but also various headphones, steering wheels, more expensive special controllers for aviation and combat games, and even SSDs.
Affected players have already started seeing a warning on their consoles that support for these peripherals will end on 11/12/2023. Error 0x82d60002 refers to a page that lists allowed accessories. Specifically, it contains regular and elite Xbox controllers, official headphones and partner brands such as PowerA, 8BitDo, Razer, Recon, Nacon or Turtle Beach. The licensed product can be identified by: The packaging features the official Xbox license logo..
The move will especially affect lesser-known brands that don’t pay Microsoft a licensing fee. It looks like Microsoft wants to have more control over the products that connect to Xbox consoles. One such company is Brooke. In a statement, she said her team is fully committed to finding a solution that preserves the quality and functionality of the product. For example, the XB Fighting Board, designed for fighting games, will stop working. It’s the players in this genre who are most worried.
Microsoft has not yet commented. However, the bug players are experiencing suggests that unauthorized accessories for Xbox players will become useless in a few weeks.
