Microsoft is taking steps to crack down on unauthorized third-party accessories for Xbox consoles. This information comes from a warning that shows up for Xbox owners, which outlines the implementation of a new policy aimed at preventing the use of “unauthorized third-party accessories” starting November 12, 2023.
Simply plugging in an unauthorized device will result in an “error 0x82d60002” as shown in the picture below.
While not everyone may welcome this change, many will embrace it, as it stops the XIM and Cronus users from cheating in multiplayer games. The usage of these third-party accessories has negatively impacted several excellent PvP games. Nevertheless, with this new policy, they are certain to face significant limitations.
This policy is a welcome change for players who use controllers and struggle to compete against users employing third-party accessories to gain unfair advantage. If this adjustment promotes a level playing field in multiplayer games on Xbox consoles, then we are sure to have some fun going forward.
