How to see if an Apple Arcade game has controller support?
Apple clearly labels the controller support information for most games on their landing page. Open the App Store game page on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Tv and look for the Controller icon on the banner just below the game’s icon.
Another way is to scroll down to the Support section and check for Game Controller support. Although, we have also noted during our testing that some unlisted games also offer controller support.
So, it all comes down to connecting your controller and testing. Well, not entirely, because we have done the groundwork on your behalf.
Keep An Eye Out for Updates!
Apple launches new games on Apple Arcade every month. Naturally, this list will get regular updates to add those new games with controller support. So, bookmark this one and do come back every month to check out those newly added games.
