I'm trying to get one of my Xbox Series X controllers working on the Steam Deck, but I need to do a firmware upgrade to fix a problem of the controller not registering properly on Steam Deck.

This means:

  • Downloading Windows 11 on my Macbook because I don't have any Windows devices.
  • Downloading the Xbox Accessories app via the Microsoft Store (which I guess will need a Microsoft account).
  • The firmware upgrade.

Meanwhile, my PS4 controller just works.

It's been a while since I used Windows, but what on earth is up with the OS?

It feels like they've tried to slap useless apps in every inch of the start menu.

What a relief. It seems I don't need to sign in to download the Xbox Accessories app.

Thank you Microsoft for reducing friction!! /s
