If you have just received your Hit Box, then there is no need to update your controller! Out of the box it will be updated with the latest everything. Once in a while your controller may need to be updated, however, and that is why we have this firmware page. The tell-tale sign is the 8-minute disconnect problem. This is a rare occurrence, but we can help if it ever happens.
