iOS Devices
iOS features controller support for MiFi-certified devices. For players using iOS 13 and above, PlayStation 4/5 and Xbox One controllers will also work.
Android Devices
Controller support is available on some Android devices — however, not all brands will work. For example, Steelseries Nimbus will not work due to incorrect button mappings (Steelseries Stratus XL, which is marketed as an Android controller, should however work).
Compatibility also depends on your Android OS version and brand of your device. Therefore, we recommend players to research into which controllers will work correctly for their OS and device, but looking for Android-compatible controllers is a good start.
PS4 and Xbox controllers should function without issue on Android devices running OS 9 or newer.
