Xoutput.v0.11 -

Xoutput v0.11 is the latest stable release of the open-source tool that emulates an Xbox 360 controller while giving you granular control over audio output and rumble. If you’ve ever wanted to use a non-Xbox controller (e.g., Nintendo Switch Pro, PlayStation, or generic USB gamepads) with games that only recognize XInput—but also need to route audio from the controller’s headphone jack to a separate device—this is your solution.

While Xoutput.v0.11 is currently the most stable public release, the open-source community is working on future versions that may include direct support for Xbox Series X|S features (like Share button mapping) and lower-level kernel bypasses for anti-cheat systems. However, v0.11 remains the "golden build" for most users because it balances features with reliability—later experimental builds often introduce bugs. Xoutput.v0.11
