What Does Xbox Series X Warranty Cover?
In terms of warranty, only the Xbox Series X and S consoles in the box include a 12-month warranty. All other parts including cables and Xbox Wireless Controller are covered by a 6-month warranty.
Generally, you do not need a receipt to make a warranty claim with Microsoft. However, if the problem is with the console itself (rather than the game or accessory), you may need to provide proof of purchase.
Are Xbox controllers under warranty?
Owning an Xbox means a lot more than the console itself. Getting the most out of your Xbox means investing in accessories for your device, some of the most important of which are controllers. Xbox controllers are inherently high-tech devices, and are subject to internal failure and wear and tear, just like the console itself.
The standard warranty period for Xbox controllers is 90 days. However, Microsoft specifically extended the Xbox Elite 2 controller’s warranty from 90 days to one year after a large number of customers noticed malfunctioning Xbox Elite wireless controllers.
