Microsoft has recently implemented a system-level ban on unauthorized Xbox accessories, causing a stir among the gaming community. The ban, which affects both Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S consoles, has been reported by multiple sources including Ars Technica, Kotaku, The Verge, Pure Xbox, and Siliconera. The ban is enforced through an error code (0x82d60002) that appears when users attempt to use unauthorized accessories with their consoles.
The decision by Microsoft has raised concerns among various groups within the gaming community, particularly the fighting game community.

However, it is speculated that the move is intended to ensure the quality and safety of accessories used with Xbox consoles, as well as to protect the company's intellectual property rights. The ban is currently in effect, and it is unclear if Microsoft plans to make any exceptions or adjustments in response to the concerns raised by the gaming community.
