Click Connect for 'Wireless Controller'. When your Mac discovers the PS4 controller, you will see 'Wireless Controller' in the list of Bluetooth devices. Click the 'Connect' button across from it on the right. The lightbar on the PS4 controller will light-up a light-blue color when it is connected. That makes it family-friendly and great for multiplayer arcade games, and adding a Bluetooth controller will make it feel even more console-like. Many games will also support the simple Apple TV.

Connect your wireless controller to play supported games from Apple Arcade or the App Store, navigate your Apple TV, and more.

Pair a controller with your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac

Use the instructions that came with your wireless controller to put it into pairing mode. Then learn how to pair a controller with your iOS or iPadOS device, Apple TV, or Mac.

Pairing mode steps, button controls, and button customization vary across game controllers. Check with your game controller manufacturer for details.

If your controller doesn't connect or work as expected

• Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, or macOS.
• If you need to update the firmware on your controller, check with your game controller manufacturer.
• Check that you’re in range of your device and there isn’t interference in the area.
• If you still can't pair or connect, get help pairing your Bluetooth accessory to your iOS device.

Pair a Bluetooth accessory

1. Put your Bluetooth accessory in pairing mode using the instructions that came with it.
2. On your Apple TV, go to Settings > Remotes and Devices > Bluetooth. Your Apple TV will search for nearby Bluetooth accessories.
   
3. Choose your Bluetooth accessory.
4. If asked, enter a four-digit code or PIN. On your Apple TV, your accessory should now appear in My Devices.

Unpair a Bluetooth accessory

On your Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD, go to Settings > Remotes and Devices > Bluetooth. Select your accessory, then select Unpair Device.

Use a Bluetooth keyboard

After you pair a Bluetooth keyboard, you can use it to sign in to apps, enter text while searching for content, and more.

• Use the arrow keys to navigate menus or the Home screen.
• Press Return to make selections.
• Press the spacebar to play or pause content.
• Press Escape to go back or exit an app.

Use more than one Bluetooth accessory

Your Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD can support several Bluetooth accessories simultaneously, up to this many:

• One Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote*
• One Bluetooth keyboard
• Four MFi (Made for iOS) Bluetooth controllers (Unless you also connect a Bluetooth audio accessory. If so, you can connect only one MFi controller).

You might be able to pair more accessories, but at some point you may need to unpair others to allow for new ones. Some apps let you use an iOS device as an additional controller, which doesn't require Bluetooth. For help using an iOS device as a controller in an app, contact the app developer.

Get help

*Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD ships with the same remote everywhere. In countries and regions that support Siri, the remote is called Siri Remote. Elsewhere, it’s called Apple TV Remote. Siri works on either remote as long as your Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD is set up with a language and country or region that supports Siri.
