do you have to use an adapter to connect a xbox controller to pc. I don't like using the keyboard and mouse to play assassins creed

Hi @musiclover1040

Yes, that is correct both the Xbox 360 controller and the Xbox One controller have a wireless receiver that are required for use with a PC.

The Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver can be purchased as a standalone product although this is very rare to come by however there are many unofficial third party vendors. See this page for more details: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/xbox-360-wireless-gaming-receiver-windows

The Xbox One controller's receiver for windows is much easier to come by and generally sells for around $20. See this page for more details: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/xbox-wireless-adapter-for-windows-setup

Hope this helps

Take Care

Hi @musiclover1040

Does Xbox controller support your PC? Just some xbox controllers support only Xbox console, some controllers support console and pc.
