Apple TV is getting Xbox One and PlayStation 4 controller support

What you need to know

  • Apple TV is getting Xbox One and PlayStation DualShock 4 controller support.
  • This is a huge boon for Apple Arcade, the subscription game service expected Fall 2019.

Apple Arcade, which aside from working with Apple TV works with iPad, iPhone, and Mac, will bring more than 100 games through a subscription service, and it's expected to begin in Fall 2019 in more than 150 countries. Apple TV is already compatible with a number of gamepads, but this compatiblity means many people who already own an Xbox One or PlayStation 4 will not have to make a separate purchase.

Thanks to a wide variety of Xbox One controllers, gamers will be able to pick something that best suits their style. We've rounded up a full list available now if you're unsure where to start.
