Mobile gaming, over the years, has carved itself a place in modern videogaming. From being considered an afterthought — and only a way to kill time — gaming on Android and iOS devices has become a legitimate platform.
From full-fledged battle royales that can support up to 100 players on a map, to RPGs with in-depth gameplay mechanics, Andoid and iOS games have indeed come a long way.
There are now several controllers, wireless or otherwise, that you can use with either an Android or iOS device to play games. In case you have a Dualshock 4 (PS4) controller around, you can use its Bluetooth capabilities to connect to your smartphone and play games that support controllers.
