How to play Pc games with an Xbox Controller?

How do i use my Xbox 360 controller to play games on my PC?

  • I have the standard Xbox 360 controller that came with the console that you bought. now what do i do to play games on my pc? thanks

  • Answer:

    A wired 360 controller is plug and play if you are running XP SP2 or later, or Vista; for earlier versions of XP you'll need to download drivers. A wireless 360 controller needs the Gaming Receiver for Windows, it's about $20. The controllers will only work in games that recognize them; this includes most games branded with "Games for Windows" and all games branded "Games for Windows LIVE". Other games need third-party software.

Generally, yes you can... However, depending on the game, you'll actually loose a significant degree of fine control. (You usally have a better degree of control with keyboard and mouse, especially if playing FPS games!) That being said, if the game supports the use of a controller, there will be a set-up screen in the Options page. Good Luck!

that one guy is wrong I know for a fact that not all the games branded games for windows live support the xbox 360 controller. He is right about the reciever that you need though and on the back of the games case it will say whether it supports the xbox 360 controllers and most newer ubisoft pc games support it
