Hello AnilNB,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

We want to help get your controller connected so you can play games on Apple TV.

We see you viewed the Apple Support page for Connect a wireless game controller to your Apple device - Apple Support


You'll want to make sure your controller is Bluetooth capable and compatible with Apple TV.

Once you have a compatible controller, use these steps to pair:

"Find and connect to a nearby Bluetooth device

Before you start, refer to the device’s instructions to set the device to Discoverable.

  1. Open Settings  on Apple TV, then go to Remotes and Devices > Bluetooth.
  2. If you’re connecting a game controller, select How to Pair Game Controllers and follow the onscreen instructions.
  3. For other Bluetooth devices, select the device in the Other Devices list.

For more information, see the Apple Support article Use Bluetooth accessories with your Apple TV."


This Apple Support page has the full details: Connect Bluetooth devices to Apple TV - Apple Support


This has more steps to take if a compatible controller won't connect: Connect a wireless game controller to your Apple device - Apple Support

"If the controller doesn't connect or work as expected

Support for specific buttons and features, such as a controller's audio jack or lights, varies by controller and the app you're using with it.

  • Install the latest software updates—both for your Apple device and the controller. If a software (firmware) update is available for the controller, get it from the maker of the controller.
  • In Bluetooth settings, select the contoller or the info button  (if present) next to its name, then select Forget This Device. Connect the controller again.
  • Reduce the number of Bluetooth devices connected to your Apple device. This can also help with connection issues related to wireless interference. Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD support up to four Bluetooth game controllers at the same time, or one controller when Apple TV is also using a Bluetooth audio accessory. The limit for other Apple devices varies based on your specific setup and wireless environment.
  • To charge your controller, use the charging solution included with your controller or recommended by the controller manufacturer.

If you need help, please contact Apple Support."


We hope this helps understand the full details so you can play games on your Apple TV.

Cheers!
