Before you connect the Xbox controller to the Apple Vision Pro, ensure that your Xbox wireless controller is compatible with the Apple Vision Pro.
All controllers that have received the MFi (Made for iPhone) certification are compatible with the Apple Vision Pro.
This encompasses controllers from brands like Xbox and PlayStation, as well as any other controllers that are designed to function with iPadOS.

To pair your controller, you need to put it in pairing mode. Do this by turning on the controller and then pressing and holding the Connect button for a few seconds.
The Xbox button will start flashing, indicating that it’s in pairing mode and ready to connect.
Step 3: Enable Bluetooth on Apple Vision Pro
On your Apple Vision Pro, go to Settings and select Bluetooth. Turn on Bluetooth to make the device discoverable.
Your Xbox controller should appear in the list of available devices.
Step 4: Pair the Devices
In the Bluetooth settings on your Apple Vision Pro, you should see your Xbox controller listed as an available device.
Tap on the controller’s name to initiate the pairing process. Once the devices are successfully paired, the Xbox button on your controller will stay lit.
Step 5: Confirm the Connection
Once paired, your Xbox controller should be ready to use. You can confirm the connection by navigating the Apple Vision Pro’s interface using the controller or by launching a game that supports controller input.
Step 6: Manage Your Controller
If you need to manage your controller or pair additional controllers, you can usually do this within the same Bluetooth settings area on your Apple Vision Pro. Here, you can disconnect or remove devices as needed.
What to do when Having Issues Trying To Connect Xbox Controller To Apple Vision Pro?
