If you own a PlayStation 4, you already own a DualShock 4 wireless controller. Paired with your Apple TV, you can use your Sony controller to play Apple TV games, including those offered with an Apple Arcade subscription.
Which PlayStation Controllers Are Compatible With Apple TV?
As of January 2021, only the DualShock 4 controller designed for the PlayStation 4 is compatible with Apple devices like the Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad.
If you have a PlayStation 5, you cannot use the updated DualSense controller with your Apple TV.
Hopefully, Sony and Apple can resolve this incompatibility in future software updates. Keep in mind that the DualSense may require a firmware update via a PlayStation 5 console before it can work.
For now, you’ll have to use a DualShock 4 (or another compatible Bluetooth wireless controller) to play Apple TV titles with a gamepad.
