Edge not recognizing Xbox controllers (for Xbox cloud gaming) anymore

This problem is now present since around 6 months or longer, some update in Edge totally broke gaming controller support. Problem is reported by countless people on here too: https://www.reddit.c...

Hi makedir, thank you for using Microsoft Edge and providing this piece of feedback! Could you please try using your gamepad with Edge Canary version 112.0.1689.0 or above? We have made some fixes to this version that should help. You should be able to get it from here: https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download/canary

Please let us know if it works for you.

Thank you very much for the quick fix. Ive tested 112.0.1697.0 and can confirm, the problem seems to be solved. My xbox controllers are now working in Edge, Xbox 360 controller included.

  Hi Gabriel - I'm having this same issue as well; neither Bluetooth Series S/X nor X360 controllers via USB wireless adapter are working in XCloud (X360 one hasn't been working for months now). I've just downloaded the latest Canary build as suggested in your previous post (Version 113.0.1738.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)) but Edge still refuses to recognise any controllers.
  
  Is there anything else I can try?
  
  Thanks in advance!

    xclouder make sure it is not a local issue with your controller/pc. Test if they work in Chrome/Firefox by visiting https://gamepad-tester.com/ but not working in Edge. I had no problems anymore since the above test version of Canary Edge.
