How (and Why) to Use Your Xbox’s Co-Pilot Mode
Xbox’s Co-pilot mode is a feature that lets two Xbox controllers act as one controller. This allows two people to control the same player on-screen, with the “co-pilot” providing support to the “pilot” when they need it.
The main intended use of Co-pilot mode is to help a struggling player get through difficult parts of a game. For example, if you have young children who are having a hard time with a game, you can be the co-pilot and help them get past hard sections.
Co-pilot mode also has an accessibility purpose. Some players may have mobility, coordination, or other issues that make some parts of a game difficult for them. Co-pilot mode lets you assist them in those sections without taking the controller away from them,
Co-pilot mode can also be useful for a single player. Every player can have two controllers in co-pilot mode. This means that it’s possible for one player to use two controllers at the same time. For example, a player may not have the strength to hold up a controller but can hold two controllers with their arms in a resting position. With each hand operating the left or right side of each controller. Almost like having Switch Joycons in detached mode.
Co-pilot mode also works for the Xbox Adaptive controller. This is a special accessibility controller that lets users create custom control systems for the individual needs of each player.
Microsoft's revolutionary adaptive Xbox controller makes it easy and affordable to build custom control systems for disabled gamers.
