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.

Haha, I have some but they're NEVER online at the same time so I won't need more controllers :P


Haha same I have them but we won't all be in the house at one time, so there won't ever be a need for 8 controllers lol


I am just going to assume that what Microsoft meant by this and/or planned by this is sort of LAN parties with 8 people.

I am sure there are LAN parties now with 4 so its upping the players for all those who enjoy LAN partying.

gtapro151 you can already barley see with 4 **** i cant even play cod on a 2 player split screen yet another useless add on for the one...


Well that is split screen, there is many multiplayer games without split screen such as FIFA 13/14 for example.

I don't ever plan on playing Xbox with 8 people on one screen.

I rarely ever play with 4, let alone 8.

Very good move by Microsoft to allow big group's to get together and blast out some games while having a few drinks.
