Apple Arcade brings subscription gaming, like Xbox's Game Pass and PS4's PlayStation Now, to the mobile space for the first time. With it, Apple has made all of its devices compatible with most modern wireless gaming controllers by default in its new iOS 13.
Apple released its Apple Arcade service this week and it has created quite a buzz. For just $5 a month, Apple gives owners of the iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and MacOS computers access to a huge library of new games to try.

Many of these titles cost money individually on different platforms. Some come from prestigious developers and some even feature sequels to popular franchises, like a new Rayman game. All of the games of course feature touch-screen controls, but with this kind of variety, many would certainly benefit from the use of a controller. Apple predicted this and therefore designed iOS 13 to pair easily with many of the controllers people already have in their homes.
Luckily, wireless Xbox and PS4 controllers feature Bluetooth functionality out of the box, which means that they already have the hardware built-in. That means pairing them to an iOS device doesn't require much work beyond putting the controller into pairing mode and pairing it in the iOS devices' settings. Once that's done, players can jump into Apple Arcade's 100+ games without a hitch.
Download the Latest iOS Update
In order to use Apple Arcade, users must first make sure their device has iOS13 installed. iPhone owners can download the update right now while iPad owners must wait until September 24th.
To download the update, users can simply open the Settings app and navigate to General > Software update. The screen will search for an update, and once it finds it, users can click 'Download and Install.' The update will take about 30 minutes from download to full installation and the device will restart a few times.

Once the update finishes installing, users should navigate to the Settings app again and open to the Bluetooth section.
Pairing a PS4 Controller
- Hold down the 'Share' button and the 'PS' button at the same time until the light bar on the controller begins to flash blue.
- The PlayStation 4 controller will appear In the Bluetooth settings on the iOS device as 'Dualshock 4'.
- Selected 'Dualshock 4' in the list. The two will connect and the PS4 controller will automatically work in Apple Arcade.
Pairing an Xbox One Controller
- Hold down the 'sync' button on the top back of the controller until the Xbox light begins to flash.
- The Xbox One controller will appear In the Bluetooth settings on the iOS device as 'Xbox One'.
- Selected 'Xbox One' in the list. The controller will connect and will automatically work in Apple Arcade.
Apple has a reputation for making things easy, and this process should get gamers up and running in the service in no time. iOS users can try the service for free for a month before they decide if Apple Arcade is worth the monthly fee.

Ps4 Controller Iphone
Some people might not be knowing this but yes, you can now officially play a bunch of iPhone or iPad games using Xbox One or PS4 controllers. With the advent of iOS 13 and iPadOS last September, you don’t need to buy a more pricey MFi controller (Controller licensed by Apple) to play games on your iOS devices.
Earlier people have to use third-party tweaks or an app to do this, which makes the entire ‘playing with a controller’ thing to be a drag. Now, you just need to turn on your Xbox One or DualShock 4 controller and your Apple device will detect it automatically via Bluetooth, assuming you have one that supports iOS 13 or iPadOS. [Refer here for iPhones and here for iPads.]
So, which iOS games support controllers? Here’s a list that might tickle your fancy.
iOS 13 Games with Controller Support
Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley is a popular farming simulation game initially released in 2016. It is inspired by the Harvest Moon video game series. In this game, you play as a character who finds his unfulfilling desk job exhausting. He then decides to take over their deceased grandfather’s abandoned farm in a small town called Stardew Valley.
You can clear land and plant crops in your farm, raise livestock, mine ores, craft tools as well as buildings, engage in social activities with your neighbours, and many other activities. Also, you can develop romantic relationships with a few residents leading towards marriage with one of them.
You don’t have to worry about “Game Over” screen in this game. The players have the freedom to do any accessible activities with no deadlines. Happy school days!teach to be happy. However, if you actively participate in events, you can unlock many features such as new areas (i.e. dessert) and greenhouse farming.
The game is available for $7.99 on the App Store. Mozilla persona.

Fortnite
You may be already familiar with this online game. Especially since it has more than a hundred million players playing its battle royale mode across all platforms, including iOS. In Fortnite Battle Royale, you play alone or in a squad against other players with up to 100 players total, fighting to be last one(s) standing by eliminating each other. At first, you are weaponless so you have to scavenge for weapons, resources, and vehicles to survive.
Alternatively in Fortnite, you can play a less popular game mode called Fortnite Creative. In this mode, you get the freedom to create things on an island, including battle arenas, racecourses, and others. As a side note, some popular creations by players in this mode have found their way in Battle Royale’s map.
You can play this game for free, with optional app-in purchase.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Initially released for Playstation 2 back in 2004, GTA: San Andreas is still considered relevant by gaming communities even today. Like any other GTA game, you play in an open-world environment which you can explore on foot or vehicles. However, not many areas or contents accessible in-game are unlocked from the start. You need to do the necessary storyline missions first to unlock them.
With that said, the storyline itself is praiseworthy, with critics and gaming websites regard it as one of the best in 2004. While the game fell prey to some controversies regarding its violence and sexual content. Despite that, GTA San Andreas remains as one of the greatest video games ever made.
You can own the game at a relatively cheap price at $6.99.
