4. The console will detect the controller, and you will see a message on the screen indicating that the controller is connected.
5. Press the Home button on the controller to confirm the connection.
6. If you want to assign a name to your controller, go back to the “Controllers” menu on the home screen and select “Set Up a Controller.”
