Unofficial Accessories Reportedly Soon to Be a No-Go for Xbox Users

The recent update from Xbox might be a disappointment for the gaming community. Microsoft is putting an end to the use of unauthorized accessories with Xbox devices. Every gamer thinks of modifying their console devices for a better gaming experience. While these accessories certainly improve the gaming experience buying licensed ones can cut a deep hole in players’ pockets.

However, it looks like Xbox has finally made up its mind. From the coming month, no third-party unauthorized accessories can be paired or linked with Xbox devices. While the decision is made, Xbox users are currently having a hard time adjusting to it.

Xbox’s new policy prohibits the use of unauthorized accessories

Recently a trusted insider shared on their Reddit profile that Xbox’s new policy bans all the unofficial accessories. Not just that but they mentioned that Xbox’s policy will be effective from the 12th of November- “Xbox’s new policy — say goodbye to unofficial accessories from November thanks to error ‘0x82d60002′”.

Previously many users dropped their queries about why they were facing errors while pairing up accessories with their Xbox device. They said that while trying to connect the accessory, they received warning messages. Now it looks like this happened because of Xbox’s new strict policy to keep their console out of third-party unofficial gear’s reach.

Nonetheless, the days of modifying the console devices are over, at least for Xbox users.
