Microsoft Corp. confirmed that the controller for the Xbox One will receive PC drivers.
The company did not say exactly when the PC would receive the support from the console, according to Load The Game. Major Nelson responded to a post on a NeoGAF thread about the news with "Soon. Very soon."
The Xbox 360 Controller has been compatible with the PC since its creation, having support for Windows PC.
Microsoft also revealed patch notes on private preview forums about the Xbox One June software update, The International Business Times reported.
"Welcome to the Xbox One June update preview! The 1406 wave contains many exciting features- many of them specifically requested by you! Now you don't have to worry about running out of space, or who that one Gamertag on your Friends list really is. You can sign in automatically without needed Kinect, and you might find the Xbox Store a little bit brighter on the Home page," Microsoft said in the notes.
"We'll be rolling out this update for the preview audience over the next few days in waves beginning on 5/24, and the rest following shortly after."
It has not been revealed yet as to how the gamepad will work on the PC, The Load Game reported. Microsoft has not said if the gamepad will be wired-only, if it will need a micro-USB cable attached permanently to work, or if it will come with a wireless dongle.
The company has also not revealed if the Xbox One uses traditional Bluetooth for wireless connections, or if the console uses a type of cryptic signal. A cryptic signal is used by the Xbox 360 for connections.
The system update is speculated to be coming after the console's software update in June, NDTV Gadgets reported.
The Xbox One update teased by Microsoft will include a "Sound mixer" feature that lets users control the audio levels of two applications being used in the Snap feature to find out which app sounds louder. Users will also be able to control the Kinect voice chat volume. Users could access these features in the "Settings" option.
