Xbox One controller charge kit and headset details

4.3
With the new console arriving in November, Microsoft have released details on the Play and charge kit, and also the new Microphone that has been established.

The Play and Charge kit includes a rechargeable battery pack, and a USB adapter that plugs into the Xbox One. This lets you charge the controller while playing your game, or when the console is in sleep/standby mode.

The Microphone contains pitch perfect wideband audio, and lets you mute or adjust the volume without having to take your hands off of your controller. There has been no confirmation about the microphone being included with the console yet. It was included with the 1st generation Xbox 360 back when it was released.

I don't know if you were talking about the Wii having a mic, but where does it connect at?

SwagDaddyYolo they still use batteries?


I'd rather quickly change the battery pack instead of used a usb to charge while playing


yeah but to me it's a hassle to keep buying batteries over and over again, I would rather buy another controller than buy batteries/ a play and charge kit and keep switching the controllers from being used/charged.


Don't they still have the rechargeable battery packs that come with like 1 or 2 extra packs? I remember having some and would charge them when I was done playing and leave them next to my desk so if my batteries died, I would quickly change them and put the pack to charge.

THCv3 How about giving us information on whether or not our headsets now will work.


Turtle Beach and other companies are working on making headsets for the new console.
