Planning to buy an Apple TV 4k. I currently have one WiFi-based game controller and one Bluetooth-based game controller, both of which supports the Apple TV. Can I use both controllers at the same time?
Also, read somewhere that the TV can support up to 4 bluetooth controllers at the same time. Can it also support multiple WiFi controllers at the same time?

Planning to buy an Apple TV 4k. I currently have one WiFi-based game controller and one Bluetooth-based game controller, both of which supports the Apple TV. Can I use both controllers at the same time?
Unknown. The documentation mentions that Apple TV system software includes drivers for specific Bluetooth controllers: ① Select Xbox controllers, ② select PlayStation controllers, ③ other bluetooth game controllers, preferably MFi certified (e.g. SteelSeries Nimbus+). I haven’t read about Wi-Fi controllers. Connect a wireless game controller to your Apple device - Apple Support
Can it also support multiple WiFi controllers at the same time?
Unknown. You may want to see if the Apple Support staff knows more about Wi-Fi controllers. It is new to me.
If you decide to just try it out, then let us know, so that we may learn from you.
Was searching around to find a good example for the scenario I was talking about, and found the 8BitDo. What's interesting is, the 8BitDo Ultimate has two models, a 2.4G model, and a Bluetooth model. Here is what the specs show:
2.4G Model:
Compatibility:
Windows 10 and above
Android 9.0 and above
Raspberry Pi OS, Lakka, RetroPie, Recalbox, Batocera
SteamOS Holo 3.4 and above
iOS 16.3 and above, iPadOS® 16.3 and above, tvOS® 16.3 and above, macOS® 13.2 and above
Bluetooth Model:
Compatibility:
Switch 3.0.0 and above
SteamOS Holo 3.4 and above
Windows 10 and above
So as you can see, only the WiFi model is supported by Apple TV. Just making things more confusing :D
