Xbox will block the use of unofficial accessories

Xbox will block the use of unofficial accessories, that is, those that are not manufactured by Microsoft itself or by another hardware partner of the console that has a license for it.

The company explains on its support page that these accessories “may affect the gaming experience on Xbox consoles” and to determine if it is an official accessory, you must check if it includes the brand logo between the triggers and register it before use.

Likewise, it insists that with them you can access the Xbox Accessories application, as well as features such as button remapping, firmware updates and saving multiple profiles.

The company has now reported that it has begun implementing a notification that is displayed when users connect an unauthorized device to the console, which will result in error code 0x82d60002.
