How to Connect the Xbox Controller to the Xbox Console

Simply insert the Xbox Controller connector into any one of the four controller ports on the front of the Xbox console.

You may connect up to four Xbox Controllers to one Xbox console for multiplayer gaming. Note, not all Xbox games will allow multiple players. To determine if the game allows multiple players, see your game manual.

Each Xbox Controller cord has an inline release. This is a safety feature designed to reduce the chance of the Xbox console falling when the cord is pulled. Use the Xbox Controller connector, not the inline release, to routinely connect and disconnect the Xbox Controller. Never tape, glue, or otherwise prevent an inline release from pulling apart.
