With the new tvOS, Apple TV supports official Xbox One and PlayStation 4 controllers. This opening providesgreat advantagesfor gaming on Apple TV, but also iPhone and iPad. Because iOS 13 and iPadOS will also benefit from this addition.
On the one hand, players who have an Xbox One or PS4 at home will be able to play on iPhone, iPad or Apple TV, with thesame controller.
