The Xbox One supports up to eight controllers at a time

Microsoft just revealed an interesting tidbit about its upcoming Xbox One console: it can support up to either controllers at once. The Xbox One controller has a 30-foot range, and the console can recognize up to eight players at a time. Of course, developers will need to code the functionality into their games for up to eight players, but hey--at least now we aren't relegated to the typical four-player games anymore with the new Xbox. Interestingly, today Sony confirmed that the Playstation 4 will support up to 4 controllers at once.

If you haven't yet locked in your Xbox One console, you can pre-order on Amazon or The Microsoft Store now--or, if you're an Xbox employee, you get an exclusive white Xbox One for free!
