Xbox One controller PC wireless adapter release date announced
The Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows is releasing sooner than you think, which will allow PC gamers to enjoy the Xbox One controller wirelessly.
Microsoft announced the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows earlier this year, which would of course allow the Xbox One Wireless controller to be used wirelessly on a Windows PC. Today, we’ve learned the adapter will finally be available for purchase starting as early as October 20.
The Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows will retail for $24.99, but it appears the adapter will only work with Windows 10 for the time being, according to its product page details. The adapter will allow users to sync their Xbox One Wireless controller with it, thus allowing PC users to play their PC games and Xbox One games through streaming.
The adapter also comes with a USB extender cable that will allow users to extend the USB connection to their Windows 10 device. This could be helpful for those who have their gaming PC in another room and need their adapter to be extended to their location in order to use it.

Cool, but... $25? I'll continue to be mildly inconvenienced by the wire.

Comes for free with Oculus Rift CR1 and a Controller as well. I'm waiting on that one.
-
Really I fully expect a $399 price tag in that case.

I'm hoping they push it up to the Oct 20th date on the Microsoft website. Otherwise I may need to seek it out elsewhere.

Same here. If I get one for review, I'll be happy to check it out. Otherwise, I'm fine with my Dualshock 4.

I'm seeing nothing indicating this works with multiple controllers at once - any confirmation on that?

Yeah, my point was that it seems likely this is not even a native English speaker (basically what JohnnyRey mentioned above). I don't know that I'd rely on that kind of input too much before an official announcement is made.

Omission of information and no official word from MS is worth noting.
The best case scenario is that MS simply forgot to list that spec and they left a poor tech support guy to be their PR. That just makes them look incompetent.
If I look up the specs for a 360 wireless reciever its all listed there, support for up to four 360 controllers and four wireless headsets simultaneously.

I UNF'd this, but then I saw that it was one adapter per controller?

Yeah I really don't understand the thought process behind this

They've always marked up their console accessories. Now they found a way to get PC users to pay more than they need to for the same simple functionality in the previous hardware iteration. Plus they can always say that it still works over USB and you don't have to buy them.
Or it's and honest mistake. Unless it's something crazy such as the hardware in the new console itself is comprised of 4 separate wireless receivers and there was no cost effective way to combine them onto a USB dongle.-
My guess is they want to sell more controller and receiver bundles than they did last generation.
