Of course, MFI game controllers should be able to work flawlessly with this setup, but not everyone has those things. If you’re determined to make your DualShock 4 work with your iOS device, there are a few things to note: You can only use your PS4 game controller if you’re close to the console, not when you’re away on a trip or something. With iOS 13, Apple has made it possible to use PS4 and Xbox controllers on iPhone and iPad games. Here’s how to set it all up.-.

Connect your wireless controller to play supported games from Apple Arcade or the App Store, navigate your Apple TV, and more.

As addicting and fun as iPhone games are to play, some gameplay mechanics can be tricky to navigate when all you have is a touchscreen. This is especially true for first-person shooters, and other games that require fine movement.

But there's good news for PlayStation 4 gamers: You can connect your PS4 controller to your iPhone, and use it to play iPhone games.

Note that not all games have controller support, and the App Store generally won't tell you which games allow it or not. The only real way to tell is to do research online, or test it yourself.

You can get started by connecting your PS4 controller through the iPhone's Bluetooth menu.

How to connect a PS4 controller to an iPhone

1. On your PS4 controller, press the PlayStation and Share buttons. Hold both down until the backlight light starts flashing, which indicates that your PS4 controller is in pairing mode.

2. While your controller is in pairing mode, open your iPhone's Settings app, and select the 'Bluetooth' tab. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone - if it's not, you can tap the slider at the top of this screen to turn it on.

3. Your iPhone will scan for nearby Bluetooth devices. When it finds your controller, you should see its name appear under 'Other Devices' - if you're using an official PS4 controller, it'll likely be called 'DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controller.' Tap it to connect.

Happy gaming! And if you're looking for a new game to tackle with your new controls, Apple Arcade has lots of great options.
