Can You Play Controller on XDefiant on PC?
Fortunately, you can use controller on XDefiant even if you are on PC or laptop. The best method to play controller is always a wired connection as it provides the best performance. With your controller connected directly to your PC you can be assured that your controller won’t disconnect unless unplugged. Additionally, the latency of a wired connection is better, meaning your inputs will be recognised slightly faster.

XDefiant may download fairly quickly provided you have a high download speed and SSD on your computer. However, the download time will vary from user to user.
