If you’re one of those who are wanting to use the greatest gamepad on your PC, it looks like your dream may very soon become a reality. In a recent NeoGAF post from Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb, it was reviled that Microsoft will be releasing Windows PC drivers in the near future.

“Soon. Very soon,” said Hryb, responding to a post wondering about the availability of the drivers.

Microsoft said last August that it planned to make the Xbox One’s gamepad compatible with the PC at some point in 2014. At the time, a spokesperson explained that the controller would require new software in order to be optimized the performance with a PC, and that the company still had some work that needed doing in order to ensure that PC games compatible with an Xbox 360 controller would also work with an Xbox One controller. Oddly enough, some crafty individuals have already figured out how to make the One’s gamepad compatible with their PCs, but official support will no doubt work better.

For comparison sake, the Xbox 360′s wired controller was always compatible with PCs. Playwers who wanted to use a wireless Xbox 360 controller on their computers had to purchase a separate wireless receiver, which wasn’t released until June of 2006.
