Xbox One will support eight controllers at once

4.5
Xbox One will support eight controllers at once, up from the four that can be used with the Xbox 360.

According to details published on the official Xbox One product page, the new controllers will also have a 30 foot wireless range.

Sony has yet to confirm how many DualShock controllers can be connected to the PlayStation 4 at once. The PS3 currently supports seven controllers, even though no games support seven player local multiplayer.

A PepsiCo promo earlier this week hinted that an Xbox One release date will fall in late November, though Microsoft has already confirmed the console will not release in several European countries until 2014.

Sony has confirmed a November 15 release date for its PS4 in the US, while Europe and Australia will see the console release on November 29.

Cokes Wow, the PS4 is really getting owned lol.


I honestly don't think 4 extra controllers make the X1 so much better, it's pointless since pretty much nobody will ever use 5-8 controllers.


Not really. I prefer max of 4 than 8. Eight controllers is just too much and doubt it will be used.

Wokze That's pretty cool, although I barely use 2 let alone 8 haha


Same, I never had a feeling that I needed more than 4 controllers, I never needed more than 4 either, I think it's pretty pointless to have 8 controllers.

McNuggets_Jr I think 8 will be amazing. More the better!


Not really lol. So you're saying you would like to play on a TV with 8 split screens?


Haha didn't think of it that way, that's annoying aha.


The maximum players I played splitscreen with was 4, if you go over 4 the screens will become very small and it will be really annoying.
