    Xbox Core Controller(aka Xbox Series X controller) is not recognized on PC.

    I have a new Xbox core controller and it is not being recognized in Legion. Works perfectly fine in AC: Valhalla. Connected over Bluetooth, I don't have a wire to test wired connection.

    Update: I found a short USB-C cable(too short to play the game) and it recognized the controller, soon as I unplugged it, it stopped recognizing the controller. I specifically bought this new controller so I could play wirelessly from my couch.

    Update2: I tried what was suggested for Elite 2 controller and plug in an old 360 controller, I found out in the garage my old 360 guitar hero guitar and plugged that in, and now the new Xbox Core controller works. It is not ideal, but at least I can play wirelessly now. So it is just Legion not recognizing a controller is on wirelessly.

    Apologies for the delay in getting back to you with regards to this issue.

    The Watch Dogs Legion team have tested the controller via Bluetooth and confirmed that it is working. Could you please update your game to the latest version and test it again to see if the issue still persists.

    Thanks.
