Microsoft releases Xbox One controller drivers for PC
The Xbox One controller works with any game that currently features support for the Xbox 360 controller. After installing Microsoft's drivers, players can immediately start using the Xbox One controller in compatible games and apps by connecting it via a micro USB cable.
Native controller support will be featured in a future Windows update, but Microsoft notes that it wanted to push out updated drivers as soon as possible in order to let users "play their favorite PC games with what we consider the best controller ever made."

I dont get why so many are saying "YAY il get a controller just for this" You do realise PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers work on PC anyway... Just a usb connection , heck even Play and charge kits let you use a wireless 360 controller and theyre dirty cheap second hand or even new now :S

I think this is great of Microsoft to do this. I decided to leave consoles for PC gaming when the next-gen consoles were released. I love playing with a gaming keyboard/mouse - it takes a while to get used to after using a controller for such a long time, but it's definitely better.
However, sometimes in a game it's obvious that it was designed to be played with a controller. This is nearly always the case in driving games. The Xbox One controller looks alot more ergonomic than the 360 controller so I may buy one in the future for my gaming PC, when my 360 controllers wears out.

This will be really good and useful. I used to play CoD: WaW zombies on my PC and I used a wired Xbox 360 controller when I played, and it was great.
