WWDC 2019 is going on right now and Apple casually just announced support for the two most popular controllers ever for tvOS 13. When the update hits, you will be able to use PS4 and Xbox One controllers on tvOS. Both these controllers would be perfect for a lot of things outside of native games.
Sony released a PS4 Remote Play app recently and having native PS4 controller support will be beyond amazing if this does come to iOS as well in iOS 13. The Xbox One controller support on Steam Link will be great since most PC gamers use the Xbox One controller as their controller of choice on PC games with Microsoft’s support. Right now, this is just announced for tvOS 13 which is still a huge deal.
Hopefully this means it is coming to iOS 13 as well because that would be massive and definitely be a clear indication of what Apple thinks of the MFi controllers sadly. What is your favourite game controller?
-fingers crossed- macrumors says they announced it for apple arcade, which would mean phones and tablets, aye? i cant imagine them limiting this support to just that. hope...
Yeah, I'd have to think getting the controller support on ANY Apple device is the hurdle; no reason why it can't be tvOS as well as iOS. I really want to use my Playstation controller while remote playing my PS4!
May want to update the article title, it's coming to iPad and iPhone too. Source: Check the 'more details' page on iPadOS and iOS features on Apple.com.
i hope i can play ios games with ps4 controller without JailBreak on my ipad
Other than SteelSeries I couldn’t name you one MFi controller. I don’t think they have much of a future if you can suddenly use a PS4 and Xbox controller with your iPad or phone.
I think Gamevice might still have a bit of a future as that design works really well.
Running the iOS 13 beta on an iPad Pro. PS4 controller working perfectly with GTA, Horizon Chase, Oceanhorn &c. Far preferable to the Nimbus, imo.
Also, it’s possible to disable the app download size limit over LTE, which is excellent.
