Get your Starlink Xbox One starter pack running: mount the ship on the controller, sync the figure, and start playing without missing pieces.

Quick answer

To set up the Starlink Battle for Atlas Starter Pack on Xbox One, clip the ship onto the controller mount, place the pilot figure on the ship, and follow the on-screen prompts to sync. The key is making sure the mount is fully seated before you launch the game.

Why the controller mount matters more than the figure

The starter pack's ship and figure only work when the controller mount is properly connected. A loose mount is the most common reason a new ship isn't recognized, so check that connection before troubleshooting anything else.

What to check before you start

The starter pack includes the game, a controller mount, a ship, and a pilot figure. Because this is a New Other listing, confirm the mount and figure are present before setup. If any piece is missing, the game will still boot but you won't be able to use the physical toys.

Setup steps

Attach the controller mount: Clip the mount onto your Xbox One controller and press until it clicks. A common mistake is leaving it loose, which stops the ship from being read. Tug gently on the mount; if it moves, reseat it.
Mount the ship: Align the ship's connector with the mount and push down firmly. Don't force it sideways, as that can bend the pins. The ship should sit flush, not wobble.
Place the pilot figure: Set the pilot figure onto the ship's figure slot. The game reads the figure through the ship, so a figure that isn't seated flat won't register. Press the figure down until it stops.
Launch the game and sync: Start Starlink: Battle for Atlas and follow the on-screen prompt to sync your ship and pilot. If nothing happens, remove and reseat the ship and figure. Sync before starting a new game to avoid losing progress.
