Support for joysticks and controllers in general will first and foremost depend on whether Linux (or the OS) supports it.
Any joystick using the regular /dev/js/..
devices (using the input
sub system) should work and would probably only need a proper button and axes mapping config.
A quick google ("linux xbox one controller") results in things like paroj/xpad and How to Set Up an Xbox One Controller in Ubuntu (I picked a random result, I don't know whether it'll work), so it would seem there is at least some support.
I expect the joy
node will pick the jsX
devices up and from there on things should just work (provided you configure the mapping).

I can see that the
joy
has support for the Xbox 360 Wireless controller
It's hopefully clear that joy
doesn't really have support for anything. It just uses the regular Linux joystick (or really: input
sub system) support.
