Quite a few Xbox gamers have been surprised by a hidden controller feature that could make their lives easier.

It would be nice to think that we already know everything there is to know about our console of choice. But thanks to some recently published “life hacks”, using the Xbox will soon become even more accessible.

Sharing on Reddit, one user asked for Xbox life hacks, and fans of the brand were quick to share their own, primarily related to Xbox controllers.

You may want to read the entire comment section of the Reddit post below. To sift through the suggestions, one person wrote: “Not a console hack but a controller one. Switch between two Bluetooth connections by double tapping the pair button. For example your console and PC.”

This means that if you decide to play a title with a controller connected to your PC or mobile device, connecting via Bluetooth will be much easier. So you do not have to go into the settings and manually pair each time.

Another user recommended going to Settings > TV Settings > Dark Mode to dim the Xbox controller and console lights.

Although an Xbox One user shared both life hacks, we can assume that they also work on newer models such as the Xbox Series X/S.

These hacks will save you a lot of time. Both are features that are easy to miss if you don’t play around with the console’s settings a lot.

In related news, Xbox recently dropped an impressive freebie in the form of the Xbox Design Lab, which is up for grabs until May 31st.

If all that wasn’t enough, the expected RPG Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance will be added to the Xbox Game Pass library in June. This is a pretty good time to make sure you subscribe to the service to get access to these looks on day one.

Not to mention, members will also get access to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 when it launches later this year…
