Interested in playing games on the App Store with controllers? You will find controller support listed on a game’s product page if it is compatible, and in some cases the game’s developer may even recommend using a controller for the best experience.

To play, you will need to pair your controller to your Apple device via Bluetooth or Lightning port, depending on which controller you are using. For a full list of compatible controllers and step-by-step instructions for getting ready to play, please visit the Apple Support site for all the details.

After connecting your controller, explore more control customisation options by going to Settings > General > Game Controller and adding your own profiles, which can include preferred inputs for taking screenshots and recording gameplay video.

If you do not already have a controller, you can find a selection below.
