Xbox one s cloud gaming - controller does not work at all

Hello everyone,

This is a known issue with the Xbox Cloud Gaming Services of Microsoft Flight Simulator if you have previously played a non-cloud version and changed your controller settings to something other than the default profile. The devs are working on a permanent fix for this, but we have also published workarounds for two scenarios:

  1. If you have MSFS installed on another device like a PC or Xbox Series X|S
  2. If you do not have MSFS installed on another device

Issue with navigating menus when using an Xbox controller with the Xbox Cloud Gaming version.

  • Workaround:
    * Launch Microsoft Flight Simulator from your original (non-cloud) install and reset the Controller profile to “Default.” After that, exit MSFS and re-launch the Xbox Cloud Gaming version and it should function properly.
    * If you do not have access to your original (non-cloud) install, you’ll need to delete your cloud save. To do so, follow our guide “All versions - How to delete your cloud save.”
