[Nataly_Gaming_Girl]

I bought my first xbox one s controller for my PC 

I have a Bluetooth dongle also on my PC 

can I just plug it and start playing

or I need to update the firmware first as many people recommend to do beore using it ? ?

can I just start playing now and update in future

or it will only allow to update firmware before first setup ?

You can try it, but I would always update it. I don't know why you wouldn't want to

Plugging it in should install the firmware you need on your PC if you're running Windows 10.

I need to connect it with a wire to update it right ?

 

I read on reddit sometimes during the update the controller will disconnect and that will damage it

kike the motherboard bios that's why I'm afraid to update it

does this apply to wireless xbox 360 controllers as well? Ive never had a xbox so i dont know, and i dont have a cable for it. I use a usb dongle and play games on my win10 computer with it. Never had any problems didnt even know they had firmware.
