Rockstar Games supposedly working on fix for GTA Online's no input bug on Xbox Series X/S

It is worth noting that the issue tied to buggy input is not new to GTA Online. This issue has affected some Xbox Series X/S players in the last few months. A player's controller might work fine for a few minutes before it stops registering commands for GTA Online.

Some have reported that they can still access the home menu when this occurs, meaning their controllers technically work fine while the issue persists. The input bug has not been a major problem for GTA Online players on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, or Xbox One ports.

Microsoft's solution to issue on Xbox Series X/S

Microsoft has a webpage full of answers related to this issue. The "Some or all of the buttons on my controller don't work as expected" section of the troubleshooting page is another category worth viewing. It is viewed as "I'm only seeing this behavior in ONE game or app."

That might be relevant for players who experience this with GTA Online. Here is Microsoft's solution from their troubleshooting webpage:

"If you're seeing unexpected controller behavior in one game only, check your game settings to make sure controller configuration or calibration settings aren't causing the issue. You should also close and restart the game or app in question. If this doesn't solve the issue, your controller needs to be replaced."

Other possible fixes include the following:

• Updating the controller
• Restoring the controller's current mapping to its default settings
• Cleaning the controller

If the above report about Rockstar Games working on a patch is accurate, then the above steps might not be necessary for some players. One can also try to restart their controller or game to see if the problem persists.

There is currently no timetable for a potential update to fix the issue.
