Sam Lantinga of Valve who leads much of the Simple DirectMedia Library effort provided the Sony PlayStation 5 controller support. Today he committed to the Xbox Series X controller support.
Tweaking a few dozen lines of code with this commit in the HIDAPI SDL2 driver is enough to get the controller working for this latest Microsoft Xbox controller. The support is quite straight forward and works with both USB and Bluetooth modes.
SDL 2.0.12 will hopefully be out soon with these latest controllers and other SDL2 library improvements that have accumulated for over the past half-year.
