Use Your Phone as a Game Controller

Turn your phone into a wireless game controller for supported browser games on XYZ Console — no app install. Scan a QR code or enter a room code; select multiplayer games support up to 4 players in one room. Requirements, supported games and troubleshooting.

How it works

Open a supported game on a screen, and a QR code and room code appear on the controller-select screen. Scan the QR code with a phone, or enter the room code manually, and the phone pairs to the session over the web via Firebase Realtime Database — no app install required. Up to 4 phones can join one room.

Requirements

  • Works entirely over the web — no app to install.
  • Any phone with a modern browser can be used as a controller.
  • A camera helps for scanning the QR code, but every room also has a manual entry code.
  • Both the main screen and the phone need an internet connection.
