The latest update for Apple‘s iOS operating system adds support for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S controllers.

iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5 has launched with a number of new features, one of which is support for the new controllers.

Apple’s devices already support PlayStation DualShock 4 controllers, Xbox One wireless controllers (with Bluetooth), Xbox Elite Series 2 controllers and the Xbox Adaptive Controller.

The latest update, according to the official changelog, adds support for the Xbox Series X and S wireless controller, and the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller.



Controller support is also available in the majority of games on Apple Arcade, a subscription service that includes a library of exclusive games and other popular titles free of ads and microtransactions.

In early April, Apple launched what it called the service’s “biggest expansion” to date, with over 30 games added to Apple Arcade.

These included Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi’s Fantasian and a surprise golf game from Everybody’s Golf developer Clap Hanz, the latter marking the end of more than 20 years of PlayStation exclusivity for the studio.
