I have the latest Ubuntu 20.04 and it also seems to have this bug. There are workarounds, but I think it should work out of the box like it does on Windows. It is weird to have this kind of bug as Xbox One controller might just be the most popular controller and these kinds of issues prevent people from gaming on Linux.

Placing the controller into pairing mode makes it visible on the Bluetooth Devices list and the device pairs, but does not make the full connection needed to pull the controller out of pairing mode. This renders my controller unusable with my Ubuntu PC unless I want to resort to using the wire (microUSB). Please fix. See the attached system information below.
