If you have experienced any problems with your Xbox controller on the Xbox Series X or Series S, you are not alone. Many players have complained that some of the face buttons on the controller are not responding to actions.

Microsoft responded to The Loadout and issued a response to the ongoing problem.

For the best experience, we encourage customers to visit Xbox Support for assistance.”
