The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S might not be as TV oriented as the Xbox One was back in 2013, but many of us nevertheless enjoy using our Media Remotes to watch our favourite shows and films on Xbox.
And here's the good news - your Xbox One Media Remote will work with no issues on the new systems.
There's been a bit of confusion about this due to the evident lack of a visible IR receiver on the front of those consoles, but Xbox Live's Major Nelson has confirmed it's actually hidden inside the pairing button.
In summary then, the vast majority of Xbox One Media Remotes should work on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S just as they do today, and if you fancy picking up something completely new, we've spotted that PDP is bringing out a 'Gaming Media Remote' for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S early next month.

Good news, I was kinda wondering about that.
Well here’s to hoping that they re release the official media remote as I can only find the power A one and from experience I had issues with it,
Ha, Larry using a chip hoarding Vault Boy is just perfect. Just so many ways you could interpret the picture.
@WesEds I'm still waiting for them to do that for the chat pad. Super annoying all the limited run accessories they do.
Now where are they hiding the HDMI In port?
That's nice, I have the Xbox Media Remote but also if you have a LG C9, CX, etc., you can use the LG Magic Remote to control your Xbox and it's cool.
Had no clue this thing existed...
To those of you that are state side bestbuy has a insignia remote for the series x/s and one for 10$ it works just fine and for the money its good
