How to Play Call of Duty Mobile with an XBOX Controller on Android or iOS Devices

Millions of gamers compete in Call of Duty Mobile, one of the world's most popular mobile games, to demonstrate their resolve and strength. However, it can be difficult at times, so players search for easier ways to get an advantage over their opponents. This guide will teach gamers everything they need to know about controller support and connecting their XBOX Controller to Call of Duty Mobile to gain a competitive advantage.

Does COD Mobile have Controller Support?

Immersing oneself in the Call of Duty experience with a controller is without a doubt one of the best ways to enjoy the game. Not only does it give the player the nostalgic sensation of experiencing the same Call of Duty game from 2003, but it also gives players a competitive edge over mobile users. With the controller support technology featured in Call of Duty Mobile, players can play the game with a controller.

Because these controllers are only functional in-game, touch controls are still used to navigate menus and loadouts. This is because, while COD Mobile does support controllers for Android and iOS device users, it is rather limited. At the moment, only a few officially supported controllers can be used in the game.

Only the XBOX Controller and PlayStation Controller are officially supported by Call of Duty Mobile. Specifically, the few officially supported controllers are the Series X XBOX One Controller, XBOX Series S Controller, PS4 Controller, and the PS5 Controller. As a result, other third-party controllers will not work in-game.
