- Connect a wireless game controller to your Apple device - Apple Support
- Pair a PlayStation controller to your Apple device - Apple Support
- Use Bluetooth accessories with your Apple TV - Apple Support
For first use:
- On Apple TV, go to Settings﹥Remotes and Devices﹥Bluetooth.
- With your controller turned off, press and hold the PS and Share buttons at the same time until the light bar begins to flash (Pairing mode).
- Wait for Apple TV to detect it. Then select it. Let it pair and connect.
- Lastly, launch the game that you intend to play.
For subsequent use:

- Launch the game that you intend to play.
