Yes, Apple TV Will Support Game Controllers

The one takeaway from today’s Apple TV announcement I had was “huh, I guess we have to use the Siri Remote when playing games. I wonder how comfortable that will be?” But while no alternatives were mentioned during today’s unveiling, the eagle-eyed folks at Polygon spotted a very important phrase on the Apple TV App Store page for Transistor: “Game Controller Optional”.

There’s no confirmation of which controllers will work with Apple TV, but we’ve got to think MFi controllers like the SteelSeries Stratus XL will be included.

For more details on today’s Apple TV announcement (including multiplayer Crossy Road), check out our earlier coverage.
