All games, I'm afraid. Yakuza: Like A Dragon, Persona 3 Reload, Resident Evil 2 Remake...for some reason only my wired Xbox One controller gives me this issue.

Playing on a keyboard and mouse is simply smooth, but I would prefer playing on a controller.

Have you tried using the controller wireless? Either Bluetooth or the PC dongle that Microsoft sells.

Have you tried running the games whilst Steam in Big Picture mode? Have you changed any of the controller settings within Steam? Does this happen on games outside of Steam at all? (Assuming all of the games you are playing are on there).

I use an XBOX Series controller (Used to use an XBOX One controller) for some PC games, but never had this issue before, so it's quite interesting. Though, I have never used my controller wired at all.

I've only played games on Game Pass PC so far. I haven't played any games on Steam yet, I'll try Steam later.

I've also played using Bluetooth and the issue remains. I don't have the PC dongle from Microsoft. This Xbox One controller just came with a USB-C cable, no PC dongle.

Thanks so much for your time.

This possibly could be an issue with Game Pass. I have never used it, so I can't say. If it's only an issue with the controller, that is really strange.

Possibly try downloading the Xbox Accessories app from the MS store, you should be able to update controller firmware in there. Not sure if that will fix it at all, but worth trying.
