Xbox One controllers are not always easy to switch to player 1. Sometimes, you have to use a special tool or change the layout of the controller in order to do so. Here is how to do it:

  1. Open the Xbox One console and sign in with your Microsoft account.
  2. Change the player 1 input on the controller to “Xbox” by pressing “E” on your keyboard or “X” on your Xbox One controller.
  3. Close all other applications and open Xbox One Console Settings.
  4. Scroll down and change the input for “Xbox” from “Player 1” to “Player 2”.
