If you have an Xbox One and you're thinking of picking up a Series X, you may be wondering which accessories you'll be able to continue to use with the next-gen console. Fortunately, Microsoft has cleared up any confusion.

Can You Use Xbox One Accessories on the Xbox Series X?

Microsoft wrote about the topic on Xbox Wire. In the post, Microsoft explains that Xbox fans are rightfully concerned about if they can bring their favorite controllers and steering wheels over to the new console.

Microsoft sought to put your worries to rest, stating:

If you have a favorite Xbox One accessory, like a SteelSeries headset that fits just right or a Thrustmaster Wheel you want to put more mileage on, you're in luck! Designed for Xbox is working hard with our partners to ensure continuous compatibility across as many products as possible.

Any officially licensed Xbox One accessory that connects to your console wired or wirelessly via USB will work on Xbox Series X. Additionally, any headsets that connects via your Xbox Wireless Controller's 3.5mm port will also be supported.

Microsoft's Plans for Easier Xbox Compatibility Identification

Products will now feature a "Designed for Xbox" label. These labels achieve two goals.

First, it tells you that the product is certified to work with Xbox consoles. No longer do you need to look through accessory reviews to see if it works for your console; just look for the seal.

Second, products with this label will have compatible Xbox consoles listed on the side. This means that, from just a quick glance, you can tell if it will work with your brand new Xbox Series X, or if it still plays nice with your Xbox One.

An Answer to Xbox Compatibility Confusion

With Microsoft covering a lot of bases with its gaming market, it's essential for the company to have clear, understandable guidelines that state what accessories work with which system. With the new Designed for Xbox seal, you need not worry anymore.

Astute Xbox fans will remember that this feature was leaked before this official announcement. After all, it was the same list of compatible systems that gave away the existence of the Xbox Series S.
