Xbox One to bring button remapping to standard controller too

Another is based entirely in software: the ability to remap all the controls from the Xbox One dashboard and have your changes reflected in any and all games you play.

Right now the feature is limited to the Xbox One Elite controller, but Xbox director of program management Mike Ybarra confirmed on Twitter that it’ll be coming to all gamepads “soon”. We hope to get an update soon.

And then there’s Elite: risky for the Xbox One.

Even if there’s a delay in the release, fans can still expect more once the Xbox One bundles are unveiled just in time for the holiday season, Game Spot writes.

“So at E3 we talked about the app at a high level”. Now it will be cool to see one for PlayStation controllers, because obviously not everyone is a fan of Xbox or is familiar with its controller.

Microsoft’s upcoming digital assistant, Cortana, is expected to make its debut on the Xbox One next year, although the Xbox One Experience Preview testers are tipped to have a crack on it later this year.

But now, the Elite controller, estimated at a somewhat strong $150, will take into consideration the hardest of in-your-face gamers to alter a controller’s portion functionalities in a few noteworthy ways. This move of Microsoft would surely give pro-gamers a leg-up on certain competitions which requires various button combinations.

Now that everyone can look forward to their existing Xbox One Wireless Controllers getting button mapping, the logical question is whether there’s enough features to warrant paying the $149.99 for the Elite Wireless Controller. The controller can host two profiles at a time through the memory slots. The remapping update is accompanied by the introduction of the Xbox 360 backwards compatibility feature, which is part of the overhaul of the frustrating Xbox One user interface.
