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.

Imagine, what an 8 player splitscreen would look like! O.O

I've never needed 8 people... 6 would be the max I'd use, with the controllers costing probably 20+ each that's a lot of money and the screen would need to be huge or multiple screened.

Woobie That is pretty damn legit, but you'll need a big tv lol.


I'm kind of curious on what a 8 screen multiplayer would look like lol


It would look **** up, you would need at least 60" for it to be playable IMO.
