Which flight sim controls work on Xbox Series X|S?
Last checked 2026-10-21. Every claim names its maker or Microsoft source.
Short answer: Xbox Series X|S only takes flight controls whose maker says they support Xbox, and most PC gear does not. Add-on throttles and pedals plug into a supported yoke or stick (or Honeycomb's Xbox Hub), not straight into the console, and none of it works over Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Below: the Xbox yokes and sticks, the exact plug chain for each add-on, the combos that fail, and a table with a source on every row. Prices change, so they are on each device page, not here.
Why most flight sim gear doesn't work on Xbox
Microsoft's own MSFS 2024 page puts it plainly: "Unless otherwise specified by the hardware manufacturer, most flight simulation peripherals sold for PC are NOT compatible with Xbox Series X|S devices." So the test is simple. If the maker's page does not say Xbox, assume it will not work.
Look for the "Designed for Xbox" badge. Honeycomb's Xbox page says it means the accessories "have been developed alongside Xbox". Gear that works on both PC and Xbox usually has a mode switch, and Microsoft says to check the manual for it. The TCA Yoke Boeing, the TCA Sidestick X Airbus and the VelocityOne Rudder all have one.

Xbox yokes: the full list
Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls XPC
Yes, on its own. Honeycomb lists it as "PC, Mac, XBOX One, XBOX Series X|S". It is the only Honeycomb yoke for Xbox, and it is the one that takes the Bravo and Charlie, through the Honeycomb Xbox Hub. The original Alpha is PC and Mac only.
Our MSFS 2024 status for it: Compatible. See its device page.

Thrustmaster TCA Yoke Boeing Edition / Yoke Pack
Yes, on its own. Thrustmaster says it is "officially licensed by both Boeing and Xbox". The TCA Yoke Pack Boeing Edition is the same yoke with the TCA Quadrant Boeing. Set the rear switch to Xbox and plug it straight into the console. It takes the quadrant (USB-A), TFRP pedals (RJ12) and TPR pedals (on the base, or through a quadrant), and nothing else on Xbox.

Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flight
Yes, on its own. Turtle Beach lists "XBOX Series X|S & XBOX One" and a USB connection to the console. It has a yoke, throttle quadrant and trim wheel in one unit, and it is the Xbox path for the VelocityOne Rudder.

Thrustmaster TCA Sky Yoke (Xbox / PC edition)
Yes, on its own. Only this edition. Thrustmaster's page says "Plug & Play on XBOX, PC, iOS and Android", and that it works with TFRP pedals. The PlayStation / PC edition is a different product and does not list Xbox. Check the box before you buy.

Xbox sticks and HOTAS
Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas One
Yes, on its own. Thrustmaster calls it a "Plug and Play joystick for XBOX One", and its support page lists it for Xbox Series X|S too. The throttle is built in. TFRP pedals plug into its RJ12 port. The Microsoft Flight Simulator Edition is also named for Xbox on the TFRP page.

Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick X Airbus Edition
Yes, on its own. Thrustmaster says its Ecosystem Hub makes "the Thrustmaster ecosystem" work on Xbox Series X|S with "Only one USB cable" to the console. The sidestick has two USB-A ports. Thrustmaster's support page says to plug the TCA Quadrant Airbus into one, and a second quadrant or a TPR into the other. The TCA Captain Pack X Airbus is the sidestick and quadrant together.

Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightstick
Yes, on its own. Turtle Beach sells it "for XBOX Series X|S, XBOX One & Windows 10 & 11 PCs", with throttle and flap levers built in. We do not list rudder pedals with it on Xbox, because Turtle Beach's pages disagree (see below).

Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightstick II
Yes, on its own. Turtle Beach says it is "officially licensed for XBOX Series X|S". On Xbox, the VelocityOne Dual Throttle connects through it. The Flightstick II page also says it works with the VelocityOne Rudder on Xbox, but the Rudder page says the pedals need the VelocityOne Flight, so we leave that pairing out.

Step by step: connecting a full Xbox cockpit
- Install the game on the console. Thrustmaster says its devices only work with games installed on the console, not cloud play.
- Set the mode switch to Xbox before you plug in. On the TCA Yoke Boeing it is on the back of the base. The TCA Sidestick X Airbus and the VelocityOne Rudder have one too.
- Plug the yoke or stick straight into a console USB port. Thrustmaster recommends no USB hub, USB extension or other extension.
- Plug each add-on into the main device (or the Honeycomb Xbox Hub), following the chains above. On Thrustmaster quadrants, set the first to engines 1&2 and a second to 3&4.
- Wake the device. For Thrustmaster: if the console is off, connect and then turn it on. If it is on, connect, wait a few seconds, then press the Xbox button on the device. The white LED confirms it.

Troubleshooting
- Device not detected. Check the mode switch is on Xbox, take out any USB hub or extension, and press the Xbox button on the device. Thrustmaster's white LED lights when the console sees it.
- Only one of two quadrants works. Both are on the same engine position. Set one to 1&2 and the other to 3&4. On the Sidestick X, the Xbox button LED flashes non-stop when this happens.
- Too many add-ons. The TCA Yoke Boeing takes at most three USB devices. The Sidestick X takes two.
- Bravo lights or bindings through the Hub. Some buyer reviews on Honeycomb's Hub page report Bravo lights not working and bindings not being recognized. That is buyer feedback, not a Honeycomb statement, and the page gives no fix.
- VelocityOne Flightstick cable. Turtle Beach says to contact its support for a free USB-C cable for using the first Flightstick on Xbox.

FAQ
Does the Honeycomb Bravo work on Xbox?
Only through the Honeycomb Xbox Hub with the Alpha Flight Controls XPC. Honeycomb's Bravo page lists Xbox "only in addition to Alpha XPC & XBOX Hub".
Can I use a non-XPC Honeycomb Alpha on Xbox?
No. Honeycomb lists the original Alpha as PC and Mac only, and says the Xbox Hub can only be used with the Alpha Flight Controls XPC.
Will a Thrustmaster TCA Boeing yoke work with a Honeycomb Bravo on Xbox?
No. Thrustmaster's TCA Yoke Boeing manual says the only devices compatible with it on Xbox are the TCA Quadrant Boeing and the TPR and TFRP rudders.
Do I need a USB hub to connect rudder pedals on Xbox?
No. Pedals plug into a supported yoke, stick or quadrant from the same brand, or into Honeycomb's own Xbox Hub. Thrustmaster recommends against a USB hub or extension.
Do flight sticks and yokes work with Xbox Cloud Gaming?
No. Thrustmaster says its devices cannot support games played only via a cloud or remote server, and Turtle Beach lists its VelocityOne gear as not compatible with Xbox Cloud streaming.
Does the PS5 version of the TCA Sky Yoke work on Xbox?
No. Thrustmaster sells two editions. The PlayStation / PC page lists PS5, PC, iOS and Android only. For Xbox, get the TCA Sky Yoke (Xbox / PC).
Do Logitech/Saitek yokes work on Xbox?
We found no Xbox claim on Logitech's G Flight Yoke System page, which names PC sim software only. Microsoft says most PC flight peripherals are not Xbox compatible unless the maker says so.
Which yokes work on Xbox for MSFS 2024?
Makers confirm Xbox for four: Honeycomb Alpha XPC, Thrustmaster TCA Yoke Boeing (also sold as the Yoke Pack), Thrustmaster TCA Sky Yoke (Xbox / PC) and Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flight. Each device page shows its MSFS 2024 source.
