Hey folks -
I play a LOT of games on my iPhone 15, but I’m curious how the newest gen Apple TV would be for a couch option. Do any of you use this as a gaming device? Can you use a controller with it like you can on the iPhone?

I’d use it for our TV as well but I’m curious how the gaming experience is on it.

    It’s pretty good! We use it a lot for gaming. We use PS4 controllers with it but I know you can use Xbox controllers too.

    it’s great for casual gaming, but not all arcade games are available on the apple tv. Monster Stories for example is only ios.

    Some great racing and role playing games work well. We enjoy Sonic Racing and Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

    Make sure you buy Lunar Silver Star Story ($10) if you have any interest in JRPGs. It was recently made AppleTV compatible and you can use cloud saves to resume on your phone as needed.

    Chrono Trigger too!

    I have a Ps4 and Xbox One (2016) controller, both work well. I used my Windows PC to update the firmware in the Xbox controller.

    Steam Link + Ubisoft + Epic Games + Gog + Retro Arch + Apple Arcade. I’m a light gamer but i tried the following and it’s great. Most games use the Xbox layout but the PlayStation controller works great also.
