In the past console generation, PC gaming has seen an evolution up to the mark schemes. The Xbox 360 controller has become a staple for PC gamers in quite a few genres, especially because the format has wooed back some who abandoned it for consoles.
In an interview with CVG, Microsoft has confirmed that the Xbox One controller could be compatible with PC gaming. It is not a straightforward process though, and the objective for making all of it happen is 2014.
Given the over 40 changes to the controller, including the more precise rumble, “dedicated work” is needed to make sure that current games have compatibility with the hot devices. There is no word about whether a brand new wireless receiver may be created for PCs.
Currently, PC users have two options. A wired Xbox 360 controller will work natively. Alternatively, Microsoft sells a receiver for roughly $20. With the Xbox One controller, simply plugging in a micro-USB cable will enable wired mode.
