Hi
I just bought a PlayStation 5 controller to play NBA2K22 Arcade on Apple TV, but the game only supports PlayStation 4 controllers at the moment. Is there any plans on implementing the new controllers on Apple TV? I only bought Apple Arcade to play this game, so I’m pretty bummed over not being able to use the controllers.

Victorgladium,
Understood and it does look, from that app's compatibility information, it does not support the PlayStation 5 controller. Here’s a link to the app developer’s page where you can work with them further on the possibility of supporting that controller in the future. 2K Support
Thanks.
Greetings Victorgladium,
We understand that you’re having an issue pairing a PlayStation controller with your Apple TV.
The following article goes over the two PlayStation controllers that are supported, one appears to be the PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless Controller. There are also steps on what to do if the controller isn’t connecting or working as you’ve expected.

Thanks.
This wasn’t helpful. I can easily pair the controller with the Apple TV. I did it several times. I even unpaired it and paired it again several times to see if it worked. But when I’m in NBA2K Arcade I can’t start any games, since the button to start the games is not found on PlayStation 5 controllers. I can get into the game menu and setup, but I can’t start any actual games, with a PS5 controller. I hope there are plans to fix this?
