Can I use third-party accessories with Xbox?

Xbox accessories.

Microsoft has recently implemented a new policy that restricts the use of unauthorized third-party accessories with Xbox consoles. This policy came into effect on November 12, 2023.

As a result, some users have been encountering an error message (error code 0x82d60002) when attempting to use such unauthorized accessories. The error message states: "A connected accessory is not authorized. Using unauthorized accessories compromises your gaming experience. For this reason, the unauthorized accessory will be blocked from use on 11/12/2023. For help returning it, check with the store it came from or contact the manufacturer.”
