From Supersite for Windows:

Microsoft on Thursday provided drivers that enable the Xbox One wireless controller to work with Windows via a micro-USB cable (which is not included with the controller). Once installed, the Xbox One controller can be used with any game that featured gamepad support for the Xbox 360 controller.

"We know our fans have wanted PC compatibility, and we know they wanted to be able to use the Xbox One controller with the same games and applications they have been playing with using the Xbox 360 controller," a Microsoft blog post notes. "We can't wait for them to play their favorite PC games with what we consider the best controller ever made and we're excited for fans to experience the improved D-pad, redesigned battery compartment, new comfortable design and offset analog sticks. Simply download the drivers, connect your Xbox One controller to your computer through a micro USB cable and you'll be gaming in no time."
